“This book is comprised of four homilies which I delivered at Orthodox Christian parishes in the state of New Jersey during the period of 1995-1996. The first and principal homily, which constitutes the greater part of this volume, is entitled ‘The Priest as Spiritual Father.’ Although written in response to an invitation of Orthodox priests and addressed particularly to clergymen, it will also be found of real interest and value by laymen. The other homilies—‘Gems from St. John Damascene on the Spiritual Life,’ ‘Counsels of St. Gregory Palamas on the Spiritual Life,’ and ‘The Ladder of Divine Ascent’—are addressed equally to the clergy and the laity. I trust they will be found truly profitable by both.”
