Books by S.T. Georgiou.
I highly recommend both Mystic Street and Dreamcatcher--the first two
books in Georgiou's triology. His third book will be published in early
2010.
MYSTIC STREET: MEDITATIONS ON A SPIRITUAL PATH (330 pages, 40 black & white photos; ISBN: 13:978-2-89507-902-6). Novalis, 2007.
(285 pages, 32 color photos ; ISBN: 13: 978-2-89507-244-7).
Novalis, 2003.
In 1993 the author journeyed to the remote Greek isle of Patmos (where St. John wrote the Revelation) on a spiritual retreat. By chance he met an elderly hermit-poet named Robert Lax, the best friend of Thomas Merton and a major American poet who had made Patmos his home since 1964.
Throughout the history of humanity's long quest for spiritual truth, the twin images of light and darkness have enriched many traditions. In Christianity, light plays an integral role from the first light of Genesis, to the angels of light and darkness who dwell in unseen realms, and the announcement that Jesus would become "the Light of the world." To Augustine, light was first and foremost a metaphor for spiritual illumination; he pursued it actively all his life, and endlessly explored the permutations of light imagery.
By building his study of Augustine around this central image, S.T. Georgiou helps modern readers better understand the illustrious theologian's search for spiritual enlightenment. This informative and engaging study should appeal to all students of philosophy, theology, and mysticism.
Life is a journey of faith and wonder, an odyssey of the heart. Join author S.T. Georgiou for a walk along Mystic Street
as he shares spiritual and contemplative experiences that reveal the
power of grace in our everyday lives. Deeply inspirational and
renewing, these Christian-based meditations recharge the soul and
illuminate our passage in an increasingly complex world.
Mystic Street centers on the author’s
spiritual experiences while pursuing his graduate degrees in theology.
He demonstrates how lessons of the heart are not only learned inside
the classroom, but especially outside. In these uplifting vignettes,
both the ordinary and the extraordinary, the visible and invisible
intersect. A fascinating book filled with hope, life, light, and a
marvelous sense of serendipity.

The Way of the Dreamcatcher
relates the story of the unique friendship and student-mentor
relationship that developed between Georgiou and Lax. Areas of focus
include art, faith, spirit, and commitment. The book reveals an
unprecedented and fascinating description of the man Thomas Merton said, “was born with the deepest sense of who God was” (see Merton, Seven Storey Mountain) and who Jack Kerouac once described as a “strange wonderful laughing Buddha” (Kerouac, The Selected Letters: 1957-1969).
(120 pages; ISBN: 0-933999-38-0). Phanes Press, 1995.
The Last Transfiguration traces the
spiritual journey of St. Augustine (354-430), focusing especially on
the role that the metaphysical symbol of light played in his life and
in many of the religious teachings of his age. Georgiou bases many of
his insights on the20Confessions, Augustine's most well-known and inspirational book.
