A Kind of Solitude

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The book’s central insight comes through the author’s personal tussle with the wisdom of Abba John the Little, who observed how ‘we have abandoned a light burden, namely self-criticism, and taken up a heavy burden, namely self-justification.’ Simple to say; hard to live. This story reveals glimmers of providence in the darkness of despair, a testament to the possibility of healing and renewal for all who earnestly seek it.”
