A unique anthology of patristic teachings has collected the soul-helping words of the holy fathers who lived from the 2nd to the 19th centuries. It is compiled from samples from the works of 64 holy fathers and 30 patericons, selected according to 386 thematic sections in alphabetical order. These topics are both purely theological and related to the structure of a person’s life, the salvation of his soul, moral issues, as well as problems of family, piety, raising children, everyday life and others.
