Amazon blurb:
This is the English translation of the Arabic life of Abba Moses the Strong, according to a 14th century manuscript. Additionally this book includes a compilation of Abba Moses's sayings, including a broader set than those typically available, derived from the late Bishop Epiphanius's Bustan. Known hymns are also provided.
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."
