The monasteries of the Jerusalem desert were famous throughout the Byzantine Christian world. Yet whilst much has been written about their counterparts in Egypt and Syria, this book is the first to provide a comprehensive study of the monastic movement in Palestine during the Byzantineperiod, from the accession of Constantine to the fall of Jerusalem to the Persians in 614. The book is divided into three parts. The first examines the lives of the holy men of the desert, using contemporary source material, and looks at the culture which produced them. The second describes the environment, including chapters on Jerusalem and the expansion of monasticism into otherurban centres. The third section presents some of the main themes of the saints' lives, with chapters on the historical development, doctrinal debate, and spirituality. This is an important and valuable contribution to the study of ancient spirituality and desert monasticism, and should be ofinterest both to historians and scholars of patristics and theology.

This is a fabulous book that explores the life of Lloyd C. Glover, a soldier and an ambassador for Christ. This book covers sixty years of his life. It looks back at the start of his relationship with God and how his childhood, growing up as a young Negro kid in America, was awakened by the racial tensions of the sixties and seventies and was affected by the events of the Vietnam War. His faith was strengthened by his participation as a Christian soldier in the Gulf War, serving in the defense of the nation of Israel and, a year later, serving in the defense of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Come see how God turned a war situation into a learning environment that allowed Sergeant Glover the opportunities to serve as a soldier and an ambassador for Christ in the Holy Land and to see for himself the many historical sites in Israel like Capernaum, the Sea of Galilee, Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem. Lloyd Glover is also a pastor and founder of two international Christian websites and an online Bible training center. Journey with him as he discusses his Bible college days at World Harvest Bible College and how God had anointed him to do the work of the ministry. The purpose of his book is to remind believers about Jesus's Great Commission and to also challenge everyone to see where they fit in as an ambassador for Christ. Amen.
