Stephen Porphyrios Hunter

A trilogy on interior prayer, written from inside the tradition — not about it.

I write on interior prayer and the life it opens. Three books, published together in autumn 2026 under my own imprint, Nepsis Press. They do not require belief. They do not require background. They do not require you to already be someone who prays. They ask only that you are willing to walk with them.

The Trilogy

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.

The eleven words are said until the one saying them is no longer the one who began.
