Might you know why they can’t offer an easy $9.99 kindle version since it’s about 70% profit and very easy to distribute to large audiences?

Yes, the Apanta sold by Domos Publications is, as far as I know, the set to get!

Herman,
Thanks for your reply; while I’m definitely interested in his works in English translation (have been thoroughly enjoying the Denise Harvey volumes), I was wondering about them in Greek. Do I understand correctly that the Triandaphyllopoulos critical edition is the set to get? Thanks!

Hi Lucas! Are you interested in a Greek or an English edition? Domos Publications in Athens produces the definitive Complete Works in Greek (contact info here: http://www.ekebi.gr/frontoffice/portal.asp?cpage=NODE&cnode=303&t=233), and in English Denise Harvey Publications has done a wonderful job of publishing Papadiamandis’s works in translation: http://deniseharveypublisher.gr/people/alexandros-papadiamandis. This is the first volume of his complete works in English: http://deniseharveypublisher.gr/books/the-boundless-garden and Ms Harvey just published a new translation of Papadiamandis’s novel, The Murderess: http://deniseharveypublisher.gr/books/the-murderess

Thanks for sharing, Nektarios! When you read those books were you aware of the Orthodox Church yet, or did they simply point you back towards Christ as you knew Him in the Western confessions? Do you recall ever sensing a disconnect between what you were experiencing in Anglicanism and what you had read in those books?

My path to Orthodoxy came by the slow but sure working of the Holy Spirit & came upon me without my having any idea what was happening. I had set aside church like a traveller who boards the train leaving his most valuable luggage behind. This was useful as returning to the church had to be through new eyes.
I was at an antiquarian store in Portland, Oregon, & looking for things to read in my sleeping car on the train home, when I found a cache of Orthodox books on a shelf, obviously a small collection from someone who had left their baggage behind; so I bought them all, about fifteen I think, & I was deeply moved by what I read, having read nothing like it before. The most memorable were Archimandrite Sophrony’s The Monk of Mount Athos; St. Xenia Press’ Maria of Olonets; The Way of the Pilgrim; L. M. Andreyev’s Russia’s Catacomb Saints; & I. M. Kontzevich’s Acquisition of the Holy Spirit in Ancient Russia.

I did return to church, but it was the Anglican Church, & I stayed in this manner for about fifteen years; the progress is slow but sure, & then one day a friend suggested I visit the Greek Orthodox inquirer’s class. There was no pressure, but I found it so congenial to my natural spiritual temperament that I might wonder why it had taken me so long to find it. I came down from that very first class thinking “I can do this.” Recognizing the door is a big step, but going through without looking back is even bigger. I didn’t come from the Anglicans “slamming doors & breaking dishes,” but I simply knew this was the right call for me to hear & obey. I have a very old Russian Icon called the “Unexpected Joy.” I think it very much suits me.

Interesting…when one becomes really reflective of one’s experience of entering the Church, it becomes even more clear (again!) that each person’s experience is truly unique…and that God truly does know people’s hearts and, like a wise Fisherman, how to draw them in.
