Remember Thy First Love is a graphic description of the three stages in the Christian life according to Elder Sophrony of Essex (1896 1993), disciple of St. Silouan the Athonite (1866 1938) and founder of the Patriarchal and Stavropegic Monastery of St. John the Baptist in Essex, England. In Remember Thy First Love, which complements The Enlargement of the Heart (2006) and The Hidden Man of the Heart (2008), Elder Zacharias details the nature and purpose of the first grace given at the beginning of the Christian spiritual odyssey, the experience of the apparent withdrawal of grace, and then our final adoption as children, by which we become heirs of God and joint-heirs of Christ (cf. Rom. 8:17).

The Saving Work of Christ is the second volume in the series, Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas, and covers all the major events in God's dispensation in the flesh, from the Birth of Christ to the Day of Pentecost.

The Hidden Man of the Heart consists of a series of presentations on the place of the heart in the spiritual life of the Christian, with special reference to the Hesychast tradition of the Orthodox Church, including two of the most influential figures in contemporary Christianity: Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866–1938) and Elder Sophrony of Essex (1896–1993).

Published by the Holy Patriarchal and Stavropegic Monastery of St. John the Baptist, Essex, England, Partake Thereof and See is "a Lenten itinerary of spiritual delectation with hymns from the Triodion", and is comprised of two CDs with a booklet containing the inspired words of these select Lenten hymns in both Greek and English.

The Enlargement of the Heart is an astoundingly majestic presentation of the nature and purpose of human existence in two of the most important figures in contemporary Orthodoxy: St. Silouan the Athonite (1866–1938) and Elder Sophrony of Essex (1896–1993).

This collection of studies, by one of the foremost theologians in Greece today, is the fruit of a profound understanding of the Patristic tradition, and of many years representing the Orthodox Church in theological dialogue. In his Ecclesial Being, Constantine Scouteris focuses most ably on the mystery of the human person in the context of the conciliarity of the Church. His vision of unity, based on the Pauline theme of the New Israel, embraces all Orthodox Christian peoples – wonderfully diverse in language and culture – as one nation in Christ, to which the entire world is invited to join.
