Shepherd’s Journal

This book presents a series of simple yet profound stories that seek to illuminate how the first gentle rays of the Kingdom of Heaven – and its celestial inhabitants – are revealed to young souls who have embraced the monastic calling. The author, Sister Patrikia, is a nun of the Greek Monastery of Saint George “Karaiskaki,” nestled in the forested heart of Thessaly, central Greece. The delicate illustrations that accompany these stories were created by Sister Kyriaki.
