Letters from an Extreme Pilgrim
Letters from an Extreme Pilgrim: Reflections on Life, Love and the Soul | Peter Owen Jones
3 posts | 1 read
On a journey that would take him deep into the wilderness, the author sets out in the footsteps of St Anthony, the founder of monasticism. In a hermit's cell in the heart of the Egyptian Sinai Desert, he lived alone. This book contains letters which are an honest exploration of the ways in which we are formed by others.

“Not having a father meant that in the main I observed men rather than got to know them, and the more I observed them the less I trusted them.”

This one really resonated with me. I know this place all too well. I am struggling with this past of myself as we speak.

This book has been touching. Each letter is more touching than the last, possibly because each letter is a little deeper into the heart of the man.

This has been sitting by my chair since it arrived. I don‘t know what made me pick it up today, but here we go. I love POJ‘s specials. I‘ve seen the show where these letters were written. I adore Around the World in 80 Faiths. I am excited to see what he wrote during all that time in the desert with not much else to do.
