Overview

The Sublime Life of Monasticism by Bishop Mettaous shares the spiritual experiences of a monk who tasted the sweetness of life in the wilderness of Scetis, and helps readers answer one question: what are the signs of the monastic calling?

At his ordination, the funeral prayer is prayed over the monk, to raise him from earthly life to a heavenly one. For this reason many people left the world and their families to live in deserts and caves, longing for this life, the life of Christian perfection.

Today many books are published about the lives of monks, and they have drawn many young people to the monastic life. Yet one question is asked again and again: "What are the signs of the monastic calling?" Through the experiences shared in this book, the author hopes readers will find the answer.

The book offers a rare inside view of monastic life in the Coptic Orthodox Church, written from experience rather than theory. It is for young men and women discerning whether God is calling them to monasticism, for confession fathers and servants who guide them, and for all who love the monastic life and want to understand it more deeply.
