When a person rises to the top of a tall mountain and looks at the magnificent look that opens from there, he is numb with amazement. The same feeling arises when reading this book by Archimandrite Emilian (Vafidis), the famous confessor and the founder of two prosperous monastery in Greece. The book contains amazing, unique conversations of the old man about the mysterious and sublime monastic life. In them, he frankly speaks of the highest spiritual states and at the same time of temptations familiar to all the monks, about the deep mutual love of the abbot and spiritual children and about the inevitable difficulties in relations between them. A monk reading this book, if he is jealous, finds the right direction for his exploits, and if he is weak and prone to despondency, he will certainly perceive the spirit. For pious laity, this book will become a revelation of monasticism and evidence that in our days a high spiritual life is possible, for Christ yesterday and today and forever (Heb. 13, 8)
