I haven't read that book either. I'll try to read that book somehow too. There is a story about those two elders I've heard from someone who seems to be reliable enough. He went initially to elder Porhyrios for advice. Elder Porphyrios told him that he needed to change his life, explained to him what he had to do, and that he won't do it because he wasn't mature enough so to speak. That caused him to seek help from elder Paisios. On his first visit, elder Paisios picked him up from the small group of people who gathered to meet the ascetic, and the first thing he told him was why he didn't do what elder Porphyrios told him to do. He was blown away by this and followed the advices of the elders.
