How the life of the saints show the power of Christ which influences the feeble Christian minds today for growth!

Exactly what I’ve been looking for! What a lack of influence in the Chirch today to grow stronger in our walks and using our bodies as a living sacrifice. I say that because St Anthony encourages me and doesn’t cast doubt nor ridicule nor question the drive inside of wanting to consecrate my body or life to God.

This book also helped me understand the importance of the life and legacies the Saints leave behind for us acknowledging the fact that living a pious life and denying one’s self is possible with the help of our Lord, Jesus Christ. For in a world that is overrun with a secularized hedonistic culture, the depth of which St Anthony explains how important his walk was to him bring encouraging words of wisdom.

Now to live up to his standards of monastic livings is by far extreme, yet I need to hear these things so that I may start somewhere knowing that all things are possible through Christ!

Saint Antony led a truly inspiring life. He is a great example of the fruit that comes from simply following Christ.

The remarkable life of Saint Anthony, who laid down a path that profoundly shaped the course of human history.

The reader read with good pace and diction but lacked any sort of dramatization. The reader added little to the telling.

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!

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.

Profound Orthodox Saint

I liked the fact that ST Anthony demonstrates like other Saints that Demons take on physical form. UFO Demons. His courage ,and Faith make me feel small. I love all the Orthodox Saints. They keep me going in my darkest hour. I don't have the words to describe this Blessed Book.
