Why do the saints call it the light of the world and the boast of the Church? What does it take to become a monk? What is the inner life of a true monk? What is his purpose, and how can he measure his progress? This book answers these questions by letting the holy Fathers speak for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this treatise we have compiled and commented on two thousand patristic quotes (some appearing in English for the first time) showing how authentic monasticism is indeed the angelic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But this book is much more than just a compilation of what others have already written. It is also permeated with the personal vision and ideals of Elder Ephraim's former cell-attendant in Arizona. Thus, not only does it present traditional monastic teachings on obedience, virginity, poverty, and prayer, but it also delves into contemporary aspects of life in general, such as interpersonal relationships, the true role of a leader, good disobedience, the internet, and modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Because this book covers a broad range of topics that apply to everyone, and since \"the monastic life is a light for all people,\" laymen may also derive benefit and inspiration from this monastic wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For a free download of 140 pages of this book, go to: www.stnilus.org\/sample.pdf\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 548\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 15, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51966830084397,"sku":"9781733884907","price":43.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/Z3lUR3FZZklFRmxVeE5kSGtDSStYdz09.webp?v=1775539232","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-angelic-life-a-vision-of-orthodox-monasticism-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
