Saint Ignatius (Brianchaninov), canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church, became the spiritual mentor of many believers in the 20th century: laymen, monastics, and clergy. The works of the Saint, his letters, and sermons are published. Vladyka Ignatius points out the only possible path of Salvation - the path of repentance. “Those mentors are commendable who lead not to themselves, but to God,” the saint repeated the words of Metropolitan Philaret (Amphiteatrov) of Kyiv. The life path of the Archpastor himself is instructive and edifying. This biography not only presents in detail the earthly path of St. Ignatius, but also shows the stages of his spiritual formation. The New Edition of the book includes Supplements, which tell about famous historical figures who were in spiritual connection and correspondence with Saint Ignatius, and an Appendix, which briefly describes the present day of the Tolgsky Monastery - the final resting place of the Saint, provided by his nuns.
