[Michael Mansour · Rating 5 out of 5]

من أروع الكتب الروحية النسكية التي قرأتها في حياتي. عظات القديس مقاريوس الكبير مليئة بتعاليم غنية عن الولادة الثانية والخليقة الجديدة وسكنى الروح القدس وحياة القداسة وشركة الطبيعة الإلهية، وتعاليم أخري كثيرة. ينصح بقراءته بشدة لكل إنسان مسيحي

[Joshua Pearsall · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful & powerful collection of homilies. A powerful series of lessons on Christian victory over sin, Sanctification & holiness that God brings about within us, the shedding of the old wicked life as slavery under Satan to freedom in Christ. A beautiful & edifying series of text.

Excellent Patristic exhortations. He understands spiritual warfare from experience in an in-depth way. As with all of the Church Fathers, he's not infallible, and there were a few things which I question (no medical doctors for Christians, especially), but this an edifying and completely understandable devotional read; most of the homilies are not long.

لم أقرأ اجمل من هذا الكتاب الروحي العميق
الانسان في فكر انبا مكاريوس الكبير عبارة عن مملكة تتنازع عليها قوتان ... اما يتسلم الله مقاليدها و يتوطن علي عرش النفس البشرية وتبدأ النعمة سكناها في الانسان ...
اما يسلم الانسان نفسه للهلاك و الشر و تفارقه نعمة الله
