Saint Paisios the Great
By John the Dwarf of Egypt
The life of one of the greatest saints who lived in the Egyptian Desert. St. Paisios lived during the fourth century and this life was composed by the later Egyptian saint John the Dwarf. In addition to the life of St. Paisios and the main liturgical hymns in his honor, this volume offers a part of the life of St. John the Dwarf from the Synaxarion for November 9.
The stories and sayings found in these lives should act as an encouragement for all who seek to live a Christian life today, whether as a monastic or in the world. They communicate a vision of a world where the earthly and heavenly realms are intertwined.
