The book presents lectures by priest Daniil Sysoev, which were read at the missionary school during the year of study. Father Daniel prepared missionaries to go out on street preaching, to call people of all different views and beliefs to God, and to make worthy arguments in defense of the Orthodox faith. Father Daniel said that even before the appearance of sectarians in the first centuries of Christianity and the Middle Ages, Christians walked the streets and houses, wanted to convert the lost, and, thanks to their preaching, God saved many. In our time, preaching is necessary for those who seek the Truth, but languishes under a heavy slab of false teachings and the destructive influence of this world. Such preaching is a direct fulfillment of the Word of God (Matt. 28:19; Luke 12:8: James 5:20; Rom. 10:10). Mission is a quick means for cleansing the heart. This is the most beautiful and noble path for a Christian. This course of lectures is an excellent manual for missionary work, equipped with many quotations from the Holy Scriptures. “Whoever loves God and his neighbors, who is courageous and desires to receive an incorruptible crown in the Kingdom of the Heavenly Father, we call him to enter into the noble path of the messenger of the Gospel - the Orthodox missionary" Priest Daniil Sysoev.
