Pithy & wise & full of commonsense, the desert fathers retired to the Sinai desert in the early years of Christianity to search for God & to do battle with the devil.  They refused to underestimate the wily ways of the “demon within”, and their words are a lodestone through the winding paths of mirage and self-deception which can all too easily overtake even the most ardent seeker of truth.

 

Standard size is great for a timely greeting.

Presentation size for an inspirational message which cannot be ignored.
