Christ is in our midst!!

I don't know of any editions other than the first three volumes I bought in 1984. Publisher is Faber and Faber, London. I bought them from St. Vladimir's Seminary Press.

Volume 5, translated by Bishop Kallistos Ware (Vičnaja Pamjat) has been out for around a Year now! I now have a complete set of the Philokalia, but I realize now, over $120 in, that I am never gonna read most of it. That is, unless I become a monk in the coming years. Might happen, God only knows.

What are the most accessible sections of the Philokalia for someone who isn't a monk but still wants to benefit from its teachings?
