Query: Don't buy this book

If you look at page 191 in the notes for the Appendix titled "The Ordination Rite of Deacons" you will see in note #1 that she uses as a reference a website called womenpriests dot org. For any author to use a website as an academic reference for a book would instantly discredit the author in the eyes of the academic community.The translations used for the holy Amma's by the author completely miss the mark and the heart of the Amma's spiritual life. If you want to truly get to the heart of the Amma's (Desert Mother's) and the Abba's (Desert Father's) then I recommend the book "In the Heart of the Desert: The Spiritualilty of the Desert Fathers and Mothers" by John ChryssavgisDon't waste your money on this book... get a book that uses true academic scholarship and not 5th hand drivel.
