Kindle: Tears of Repentance No 1: True Experiences in a Greek Taxi Cab (2015, first English edition) is dedicated to anyone who might find themselves, by the grace of our loving God, travelling on the path of repentance.
Athanasios Katigkas of Sykies (suburb of Thessaloniki, Greece), answered the divine call to a life of repentance after the fervent prayers of his quadriplegic childhood friend Savvas, and the sound instruction of a lay preacher, Panagiotis Panagiotides.
Athanasios used the therapeutic discipline of our Church, to free himself from the nets of human passions by practicing strict obedience under his seasoned spiritual father Triantafyllos Xiros. Athanasios' love for Christ did not permit him to leave our Lord at home (as most of us do), but he took Him along on his daily route as a Cab driver.
His zeal for the word of God initiated hundreds of spiritual conversations, awakenings and transformations in his cab, with clients from all walks of life. His genuine simplicity, a simplicity likened to the fishermen of Galilee served as pure oxygen for hundreds of souls that shared the space of his taxi, some battered and gasping for air from the oxidants of the secular lifestyle.
In Tears of Repentance No 1: True Experiences in a Greek Taxi Cab, printed multiple times in Greece, and hailed by dozens of Bishops, Athanasios relives some of the most intriguing personal and life changing encounters in his 25-year taxi career.
Tears of Repentance No 1: True Experiences in a Greek Taxi Cab is translated from the Greek by Father Nicholas Palis. It is edited and adapted by Constantine Zalalas.
