Great listen

The lives of the saints show us the validity of the teachings of Christ and the Holy Spirit…Lord Have Mercy

Antony was faithful

This is the account of St. Antony middle to late 4th century. What a fabulous man of faith he was. My faith is stronger because of the testimony of Antony.

In detail and concise

Interesting and in detail narration of the life of St Anthony. I have always wanted to read about the desert fathers. I enjoy it and I would look for more books on the desert fathers. Many details of Anthony’s teachings, it makes you wish you could try the desert peaceful experience of ‘life in the desert.’

An Amazing Story Of A More Amazing Man

Jim Ellis made St. Anthony’s life come alive in the 21st century, I love stories of the Holy Fathers and this is one of the best, St Athanasius gave wonderful tribute to his ally in Christian Orthodoxy.

I can see why he is called “The Great”!

Fascinating and inspiring to read about the life, and the spiritual battles of such a pious Saint.
May his memory be eternal!
