This is the eleventh volume in the first English translation of the complete text of the original Greek collection of the sayings of the Desert Fathers, The Evergetinos—an essential spiritual guide for Orthodox Christians seeking the inner life. We hope within a year to publish Volumes I through III of the Fourth Book, thus completing the English text of The Evergetinos. Eventually, this completed series of fourteen translated volumes will be published in a four-volume set, corresponding to the four Books of the Greek original. We hope to provide this set in both paperback and hardbound editions.
