SAINT PAISIOS THE ATHONITE  –  SPIRITUAL COUNSELS IV

With this present volume, we continue the publication of the counsels of the Blessed Elder Paisios with themes on the family and the ordeals people undergo caused by the crisis the institution of family faces in our times. The Elder used to say that the majority of the letters he received were from people who had family problems.
