Russian Ascetics of Piety

About this series:

Russian Ascetics of Piety was the most extensive work compiled by St Nicodemus, Bishop of Belgorod. This multi-volume set was originally published by the Athonite Monastery of St. Panteleimon between the years 1906 - 1910.  It contains a large collection of the lives of holy ascetics of the 18th and 19th centuries. Since the publication of this work, many of these ascetics have been recognized as saints. The compiler himself died as a martyr at the hands of the Communists in 1919

With Great Excitement, With Great fear
   My EXCITEMENT is that we now have books translated into English from old ROCOR on Mt. Athos.    
     It is so beautiful that St. Panteleimon's monastery is able to reach us undeserving Americans today — thanks to Jordanville that is now dying in world orthodoxy...  (Poor Poor Jordanville!)   Two books of a series in progress are available to us.  Now   This is so fantastic.  Even if no other volumes are ever published, at least let's get these two volumes preserved.  We might not get another chance.
     MY FEAR is that by me presenting these books on my blog, my blog readers might assume the whole of neo-Jordanville books are safe to read.  No. Jordanville today sells many terrible books from world orthodoxy.  False elder books.
     DO NOT automatically trust anything from Jordanville after the fall of Communism.  The fall of Communism did not free the Russian Church from the whatever government.
