The ATHOS publications honor the venerable elder Ambrosios, spiritual father of the Holy Monastery of Dadiou and close friend of Saint Porphyrios, with a rich edition dedicated to his life and teachings. The material was collected after long-term research by philologist and author Michalis Leventis. The edition is made with the blessing and supervision of the Holy Monastery of Dadiou and is prefaced by the current Metropolitan of Fthiotida, Mr. Symeon, and his late predecessor, Mr. Nikolaos.
In a difficult era, ATHOS publications bring us closer to a great figure of contemporary Orthodoxy, who for many has the characteristics of sainthood.
Through the pages of the voluminous book, we learn about the elder's journey from Mount Athos to Athens and the Holy Monastery of Dadiou, as well as the trials he overcame victoriously. At the same time, we learn about the gifts of the Holy Spirit which he received as a gift from God. The elder's voice, strong, simple, and rich, speaks to the heart of today's reader and refreshes it with his spiritual wisdom and bravery.

How was such a unique character shaped, combining unwavering and unshakable faith in Christ and the Virgin Mary, but also great love for people? What drove him to care primarily for Heaven?
