I was approached via email to post some links providing some exposure to a new book by an Athonite monk. I lack the necessary psychology/psychiatry background to fully evaluate these matters, and further, I am not one well-versed in the Orthodox literature on logismoi. But I’ve read the linked guest posts by the author, and an excerpt from the book (links follow), and have found them of interest. I thought I would pass along the information for those who might also be interested. The author, Fr Alexis, is posting as a guest on a handful of blogs as per the following schedule.
