Review Quotes
Praise for Constantina Palmer's first book: The Scent of Holiness: Lessons from a Women's Monastery
"Matushka Constantina Palmer compiled such a treasury of Orthodox wisdom and knowledge in this book and I highly encourage everyone to make The Scent of Holiness a part of their home library. . . . I have recommended this book to everyone I know and every person who has purchased and read it has left feeling renewed."
-Sylvia Leontaritis, orthodoxmom.com
"Women, especially those who lead non-celebrity lives, are so often "absent" from the history books-and of whom can that be truer than the monastic? Yet, their witness and daily work serve as a great witness and teaching to all of us. Through Constantina Palmer's book The Scent of Holiness: Lessons from a Women's Monastery we are clearly shown the human soul's struggle toward the divine, but always with faith and hope as its guide."
