The new book of Archimandrite Raphael (Karelin), one of the outstanding Christian writers of our time, is very unique in terms of genre for our days: it is a kind of collection of “wise advice from experience” in answers to questions from Orthodox Internet visitors. However, the roots of this great tradition are very deep: let us at least remember the saints Barsanuphius and John. The author’s interlocutors are really people in the true sense of the word: people of both sexes, different ages and life experiences, different social strata and nationalities, different levels of church involvement, education and even literacy. But for everyone, Father Raphael finds a word full of love and spiritual reasoning, and everyone can ask a painful question and receive the desired consolation or advice. The publishers hope that Father Raphael’s new wonderful book will be extremely useful for Orthodox Christians who sincerely seek the salvation of the soul in the sea of \u200b\u200bthis life.
