About the Author

Blagoja Ilieski, known in Australia as Billy Ilieski, is an Orthodox Christian author and the founder of Ilieski Publishing. He is based in Melbourne, Australia.

He is the author of Saints of the Balkans Volume I Icons of Faith and Resistance, Saints of the Balkans Volume II Voices from the Mountains and Shores, and The Orthodox Father A Handbook for the Modern Christian Man.

Born into the rich spiritual heritage of the Balkans, Blagoja writes with deep reverence for Orthodox tradition, history and the lives of the saints. His work is rooted in faith, shaped by discipline, and driven by a desire to strengthen Christian identity in a world that is rapidly losing its spiritual foundations.

Through his writing and publishing work, he is committed to preserving sacred history, guiding men toward spiritual leadership, and producing Orthodox literature that will endure for generations.
