An Angelic Life
A Vision of
Orthodox Monasticis by Hieromonk Ephraim
About This Book
... In order to have a clear vision of what our
monastic life is all about, I began to put down in writing precisely what this
vision was that I had acquired after studying the Bible and the holy Fathers,
after my years of living on Mount Athos, and after being Elder Ephraim’s cell
attendant in Arizona for more than two decades and closely witnessing a
contemporary, living example of holy monastic life. When I had completed
writing several dozen pages, I translated them into Greek for Elder Ephraim to
examine. He was delighted to see the direction this book was heading and
encouraged me to continue writing. In the years that have passed since then, I
expanded this book considerably. Being aware of my many shortcomings and how
difficult it is to write a comprehensive book on a topic with such breadth and
complexity as the monastic life, I shared rough drafts of this book with many
people around the world ...
