St. Anthony’s Monastery in Florence, Arizona, is undertaking an ambitious project to publish a 5-volume set on the life, miracles, and teachings of Geronda Ephraim, the holy Athonite elder who founded the monastery and more than a dozen others throughout America and Canada.
To fully bring the project to fruition, the monastery has launched an IndieGoGo fundraiser, with a goal of $292,000. It has raised $62,780 so far, with 30 days left.
“In the last half century, there was a man who transformed more people’s lives than anyone else in the history of the North American Church. That man was Geronda Ephraim of Arizona. In his honor, Saint Anthony’s Monastery is preparing to publish five volumes featuring the complete life of this sanctified servant of God, told for the first time and mostly in his own words,” the monastery informs.
“The books we are hoping to publish show people how to enter into a living communion with God. That is why the impact of sharing Geronda Ephraim’s life and teachings with the world cannot be measured.”
Those interested in funding the project can choose to receive one or several of the books as “perks” for their offering.
