Description:
St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood Press. 1990. 2nd English ed.. Trade paperback. Very good.. 287 p., illustrations, index. . "Elder Zosima (1767-1833) was one of the many holy hermits and desert dwellers that lived in the vast and wild forests of the Russian North. His biography reveals how the grace of God works in one who is devoted to the labor of unceasing noetic activity--unseen warfare and interior silence. Hesychasm is the mental activity of the Jesus Prayer, in the depths of the human heart. Through it the whole man is enlightened and sanctified. Written by the Elder's niece and spiritual daughter, ELDER ZOSIMA: HESYCHAST OF SIBERIA touchingly and expressively recounts the life of this holy contemporary of St. Seraphim of Sarov and St. Herman of Alaska, as well as his loving spiritual relationship with his elder and co-mystic, Elder Basilisk, a great doer of the Jesus Prayer."
