The book “Pocket Notes of a Young Priest” reveals to the reader the unique experience of a real person who lives by the interests and needs of the Church. The author, a young Stavropol priest Antony Skrynnikov, briefly, sometimes in a few words, characterizes the situations that he encountered in his ministry, peers into their meaning and notes with a memorable “notch” what may be useful for the future. The book will be interesting as to pastors who have recently set out on the path of serving God, and to the laity. Pupils of theological schools can especially learn a lot of useful information from “Pocket Notes of a Young Priest.”
