Publisher's Summary

In the book Seven Years on Mt. Athos: The Power of Believing, you will find the experiences and the internal struggle of a young monk from the desert of the “Holy Mount” Athos. After being in isolation for seven and a half years, monk Clement faces a dilemma: continue living till the end of his life in hermetism, or return to society. He wants to leave, but is also trapped by the teachings of his order. How can he escape?

Transferred through the narrative of his biography are his thoughts and reactions that led him to isolation in the first place, and eventually back to society. He reveals his secret actions and thoughts, for the time he lived in the hermitage on Mt. Athos, that led to the decision to return. This is a case of an honest confession of a human who accepts his own mistakes with dignity, and shares the teachings of his former order that he found applicable to everyday life in society, where he lives as a husband and a father.
