From the internationally renowned author of The Mountain of Silence, Eastern Orthodox mysticism meets Western Christianity in a book that takes readers on a deep journey back in time to unveil the very roots of authentic spirituality.

In Gifts of the Desert, Markides continues his examination of Easter Orthodox mystical teachings and practices and captures its living expression through visits to monasteries and hermitages in Greece and America and interviews with contemporary charismatic elders, both male and female.

Markides’s pursuit of a deeper understanding of Orthodoxy takes him to the deserts of Arizona and a stay at a new monastery in Sedona;
