A beautiful book, both in appearance and content.

All unplanned I decided to make a 4 day Retreat. St. Paisios Book came the day before and accompanied me through my Retreat. A grace was given that I read all, almost 700 pages during that time. It is full of spiritual as well as practical nuggets. A road map and a journey in itself. I have been enriched beyond words. It was like he was right there walking me. To God be the Glory. St. Paisios pray for us..

Both copies I ordered of "Saint Paisios of Mount Athos" arrived in perfect condition and were well protected for shipping. I gave both books away as gifts, so I did not read the book yet. I am reading "Elder Paisios" which I believe is an earlier version of this same book and I absolutely love reading the book. I am so grateful for having both the book and Elder Paisios in my life ~ words can not describe how grateful as when I try to find the words to express myself, it is beyond my ability. I will likely order another copy as I am interested in comparing both versions. I noticed the newer version has a few more pages. I so appreciate Hieromonk Isaac for his efforts collaborating this together to be published. Such a GIFT.
