The Wisdom of the Divine Philosophers series, researched and compiled by the Orthodox Calendar Company, offers a rich collection of spiritual insights and teachings from revered Orthodox saints. These four volumes compile their wisdom on life, faith, and holiness passed down through centuries. Each volume presents teachings to help readers grow in their spiritual journey, for ascetic practices, and the pursuit of communion with God.
In addition to the topical teachings drawn from revered Orthodox saints, this volume features selections from the Sayings of the Desert Fathers. The cover features St. Nikodemos the Hagiorite, and the book includes the story of his life.
Volume One is part of a four-volume series. Each volume has been carefully compiled so that the quotations do not repeat across the set, making every book a distinct resource. The complete set is also offered together as a gift set.
