The Archbishop of Canterbury explores the lessons we can learn from the wisdom and spirituality of the desert fathers.

Rowan Williams goes back to the 4th century desert fathers and mothers for inspiration and insight, discovering that their spirituality resonates strongly with aspects of the modern spiritual search. He uses examination of their stories and sayings as a starting point for his own reflections on topics such as: living in relationship with others; discovering the truth about ourselves; reassessing our priorities; silence and the importance of language; living in a fearless community; living within our limitations; life and death; staying and leaving.

The Good Book Stall

Silence and Honey Cakes is a presentation of the lecture Rowan Williams gave at the 2001 John Main Seminar for The World Community for Christian Meditation. I say 'presentation' because not only is it a deeply refreshing and inspiring read, but because this book is also an attractively bound volume that would make an ideal gift. Looking at aspects of spirituality including silence, community and being ourselves, Rowan Williams introduces the reader to some of the teachings of the 4th and 5th Century desert fathers and mothers. He clearly shows how they have much to teach us today and the question and answer section at the back of the book is particularly helpful.
