Athos Publications, with respect and love for Saint Joseph the Hesychast, present the work of the blessed Elder Ephraim Philotheitis about his Elder. This remarkable book includes a complete description of the life of Saint Joseph: his difficult childhood years in Paros and youth in Athens and Piraeus, his spiritual quests, the holy figures he encountered and Mount Athos, his struggle against passions, his journeys into the world and the founding of a women’s monastery, his companionship in Saint Basil and later his life in Little Saint Anna and New Skete, up to his blessed repose. Also included is the patriarchal act of his canonization, as well as wondrous events after his repose. An elegant edition, with a color photo insert. The text is edited and the book is introduced by the respected Father Stefanos Anagnostopoulos, a spiritual “grandson” of the saint.
