A moving biography of a modern-day saint that will provide encouragement for all Christians. This work provides a detailed hagiography that will light the way for us that must live in this world. Also, the narrative was presented in an entertaining format.

This book was given to me to read when I was first diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. I was reluctant at first (I am not a "reader"), but began what I thought would be trudgery out of a sense of duty to my godmother who gave me the book.

I became profoundly affected by this honorable man's life story, by his utter humility and selfless giving. His example still inspires me and I am grateful someone had the intiative to memorialize the true Nektarios. That he lived so recently to our own day makes him seem all the more tangible.

I regret this book has gone out of print. It is well written and brings this Saint's example into sharp relief.
