Athanasius: The Life of Antony & The Letter to Marcellinus (Classics of Western Spirituality)

I was truly blown away by this book. if you desire to learn about asceticism and spiritual warfare this book is for you. antony shows how the pleasures of the body weaken the soul. it is eye opening and very usefull. this book reminds me of something thomas watson said. he said (and i am paraphrasing) that our churches are not being destroyed by people indulging in sin as much as it is destroyed by people overindulging in lawfull things. this book shed light for me why that statement is absolutely true.
