Excellent Lenten read definitely worth having and Good strength to all.
Staggeringly good.
Unbelievable how amazing this book is like saint paisios one page maybe two a day no more….. I’ll cherish this book as much as the guy who brought it to America did. The back story and all is amazing… worth every penny
If you are going to buy one book outside the Bible and the Philokalia, this would be the book to buy. Many saints back this statement up.
