The letters of Saint Joseph the Hesychast, already well known to the world since their publication in the book Monastic Wisdom, are for the first time now available exactly as they were written by the Saint himself from his small hesychastic cave on Mount Athos.  The book contains a lengthy introduction on the life of Saint Joseph, poems published for the first time in English, as well as many new unpublished letters available to us through the publishing efforts of the Holy & Great Monastery of Vatopedi.
