About
This rich, compact introduction to the Eastern Christian spiritual tradition provides insightful reflections on self-control and inner peace. Colliander includes succinct yet profound extracts from the spiritual Fathers, with illuminating commentary and practical applications for daily devotion. Tempering austerity with common sense, warmth, and even humor, the author writes as much for persons living fully in the world as for monastics. Way of the Ascetics is an excellent resource for daily meditation, authentic spiritual guidance, and a revitalized religious life. *Tito Colliander was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, but lived most of his life in Helsinki, Finland, where he was an Orthodox Layman and the author of several books in both the religious and secular fields.*
