Written almost half a century ago by the Russian bishop, theologian, spiritual writer Metropolitan Veniamin, in the world Ivan Afanasyevich Fedchenkov (1880–1961), who, by the will of fate, knew the bitter bread of a foreign land, the book is interesting even in our troubled days, when moral guidelines are so necessary. Bishop Benjamin shares his thoughts about faith, about the paths leading to the truth, about the place of man in this world, about the role of the mind, heart, reason and faith. He is not an outside observer of life, the creator of certain philosophical constructions, but an interlocutor, conducting a dialogue with a sense of dignity.
