Summary/Abstract: This text presents a review by Ionuț Mîlcomete of Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou's book, "Saint Nicephorus the Leper and Elder Evmenios Saridakis". The review highlights the profound spiritual filiation between these contemporary Orthodox figures. It explores the "theology of illness," demonstrating how Saint Nikephoros accepted his severe suffering from leprosy as a divine gift, transforming it into a path of sanctification and unceasing joy. Furthermore, the text details the extraordinary spiritual gifts, humility, and ascetic struggles of both Saint Nikephoros and his devoted disciple, Elder Eumenios. Ultimately, the book is highly recommended for its profound empirical theology and vivid examples of lived Orthodox faith.
