There are a number of studies and translations available. Volumes that I think would be marketable because of familiar names (which luckily are also among my favorites) include:

edited for 2025 status

  • To Pray and to Love by Roberta C. Bondi
  • To Love as God Loves by Roberta C. Bondi
  • The Way of the Heart: The Spirituality of the Desert Fathers and Mothers by Henri J. M. Nouwen  (audio in available)
  • The Wisdom of the Desert: Sayings from the Desert Fathers of the Fourth Century (Shambhala Library) by Thomas Merton
  • The Sayings of the Desert Fathers (Cistercian studies 59) by Benedicta Ward and Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh
  • Becoming Fire: Through the Year With the Desert Fathers and Mothers (Cistercian Studies Series) by Tim Vivian, Apostolos N. Athanassakis, John Eudes Bamberger, and Stephen Emmel
  • The Lives of the Desert Fathers: Historia Monachorum in Aegypto (Cistercian Studies No. 34) by Norman Russell and Benedicta Ward

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
