St. Nikodemos the Hagiorite
OVERVIEW
When one encounters the illumined instructions found in St. Nikodemos the Hagiorite’s Manual of Confession, he feels himself freed from both the delusions of this age and his own blindness to sin. St. Nikodemos, as an inheritor of the Apostolic Tradition and exponent of the Patristic mind and a Church Father who straddled the divide between antiquity and modernity, is an exceptionally qualified guide for all who would repent and enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Mt. 3:2). The Manual of Confession offers, in addition to an edifying instruction to the Spiritual Father, a meticulous interpretation of the Canons of St. John the Faster, an enlightening counsel for the penitent on how to confess, and a soul-profiting homily on repentance, making it essential reading for all who desire to be cured of the passions and find consolation from their afflictions.

The task of man’s earthly life is preparing himself for eternal salvation and blessedness. To attain this, a man must live in a holy and pure manner - that is, according to God’s will.
In this short but incisive treatise the reader is guided on a spiritual journey that begins with the awakening of conscience and the realization of the presence of both sin and virtue in the world, culminating in a union with God: that is “a living, personal relationship with the one we love.” In following the path of this ascent the author delineates many of its markers and stresses that these have both personal and societal aspects.
This book is suitable for both private reading and group study. Questions for discussion or contemplation are interspersed throughout this edition. A short biography of the author is also included.
