Radiant of Mother Church. The Life of St. Paisios of Mount Athos.

Much has been written about the amazing saint of our days, St. Paisios of Mount Athos, but this book is truly unique. It combines factual accuracy and brevity with an extraordinarily light, expressive style.

It is both a true life and a modern biography, a historical testimony and a work of art. Blessed Paisios called monks the radiants of Mother Church. The prayerful appeals of people sent through him to the “Heavenly Center” reached their destination not only during the saint's lifetime, but even now, Father Paisios continues to comfort, guide, and pray for all of us. And Archpriest Pavel Kartashev managed to tell about the saint in such a way that throughout the narrative, one can feel the light and breath of his holiness.
