“Book Descriptions: "Elder Joseph was a poor hermit who lived in caves far from society, yet he became one of the Orthodox Church's most influential figures of the twentieth century by kindling a revival of the Jesus prayer. He was an exceptional phenomenon in these contemporary days of spiritual poverty, and his life emits the fragrance of sanctity. The providence of God arranges that there will be such heroes in every generation so that there will always be inspiring examples." - Elder Ephraim
