Following Christ’s example, many early Christians around the Mediterranean retreated to the desert for contemplation.nbsp;These were ordinary men and women with a strong spiritual awareness.nbsp;By the fourth century thousands had endured the rigors of desert survival. While they accepted visitors, they preferred long hours of solitude and quiet.nbsp;They were not prolific writers.nbsp;Instead, people jotted down the things they said.nbsp;These sayings and anecdotes ultimately became parts of written collections. A Little Daily Wisdom from the Early Church gathers the best of this material, expressing it in clear, modern English.nbsp;Each brief insight becomes a nugget for our own daily meditation throughout a year.nbsp;With this book we can experience spiritual growth in our own quiet corner of this busy world.
