Nepsis Press
Nepsis Press Contemplative and Orthodox Christian publishing
What we publish
Nepsis Press publishes contemplative and Orthodox Christian works — books written from inside the tradition rather than about it. The press was founded in 2026 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and takes its name from the Greek word for watchfulness, the interior attention the desert fathers named as the ground of the whole spiritual life.
The press is small by design. It publishes work that requires slow reading, long attention, and quiet reception. Its catalog will grow as work is finished. Submissions are closed.
Books
Eleven Words: A Book on the Prayer of the Heart
The prayer walked word by word. For anyone willing to say it — belief not required.
The Horizon You Will Never Reach Is Home
A book on descent, unreachability, and home as the horizon itself.
Hidden Hesychasm: Interior Prayer and Its Long Concealment
How interior prayer survived, quietly, across the centuries when the world forgot it.
Coming Soon
A fourth book on affliction and the peace that is not calm — for readers who have finished the trilogy — is in progress for 2027.
