First Sentence
THE beginning of our account of the life and miracles of the blessed Cuthbert is consecrated by the words which the prophet Jeremiah uses of the state of perfection of the hermit: 'It is good for a man to have borne the yoke in his youth; he shall sit in solitude and be silent, because he will raise himself above himself; for it was the sweetness of this way of life which led Cuthbert, in his earliest youth, to put his neck to the yoke of monastic discipline. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars This book portrays the heroism of the early church., 6 April 2001
By A Customer
The works contained within this book, give a real flavour for the early life of the church in England. The heroes of the 6th and 7th century were holy monks and bishops who fought a constant battle against violent secular rulers, superstition, disease and the elements.
