About the book:

A Brief Word on the Life Beyond Nature in Monasticism

To become an image of Pentecost, the monk must be a worker of repentance, a man of ardent desire, and persevere in the earthquake of repentance that renews his soul. Then he will bear witness to the humble ethos of Christ which has overcome his nature. This ethos reveals the supernatural transformation he has undergone: from a divided and distorted being into a living image of the Lord Jesus.
