The Little Russian Philokalia

There are very few books that are published in Volumes.  However, one of my favorites has been a Volume published by St. Herman's Press, The Little Russian Philokalia.  Originally, it was a series of books published in 5 volumes.  The first volume being St. Seraphim of Sarov .  The second volume is on Blessed Abbot Nazarius, who was the Spiritual Father to St. Herman of Alaska, which was the third volume in this series but has been discontinued and no longer in print.  The fourth volume was dedicated to  St. Paisius Velichkovsky, who was the individual who came into contact with the Philokalia that was published on Holy Mount Athos.  The fifth volume is to St. Theodore of Sanaxar, which is the last volume in the series.  


I have had the blessed chance to come into contact with each of these series.  Though only 3 of the original 5 volumes are being published these short books, no more than 150 pages, contains some of the most spiritually enriching texts from these wonderful men of God and each one who show forth that these men were truly blessed with many Graces from God.  


I highly suggest looking into trying to get one of the books that are still being published and let the spiritual insight of these men of God fill your soul with such peace and love that you will want to take their message and spread to everyone you know.
