Descriere magazin:
Searching for forgotten Christian knowledge of man among the monks of Mount Athos, the Holy Mountain of Northern Greece... Jesus said: \'Let him who seeks not cease seeking until he finds, and when he finds, he will be troubled, and when he has been troubled he will marvel, and he will reign over the All.\' (Gospel According to Thomas) DEDICATION: Spiritual men seek among the centuries-old forests of Athos for ten or a dozen holy men who are sanctified to replace a similar number in the hidden corners of Athos\' forests and mountains.

Robin Amis began writing this book in the early \'80\'s, when he first started visiting the Mountain regularly - visits which now total over 60. His first impressions of what he found there are encapsulated in this account of keenly observed descriptions of landscape and monasteries interspersed with deeply learned \'lessons\' - truths brought home to the author by circumstances which so often evoked an inner response. It is these revelations which tie the book together - and as in all true revelations, they do not follow a logical sequential pattern - they come \'out of the blue\', surfacing when another relevant memory calls them up into consciousness out of the depth of our being. This book, then, could really be called an \'inner journey\', for which externa
