Monk Simeon of AthosThe Art of Wrestling with thoughts (for monks). – M.: “Indrik”, 2010. – 144 pp.

ISBN 978-5-91674-108-7

The new book of the monk Simeon of Athos is a kind of “spiritual testament” . This book is addressed primarily to monks who practice “mental prayer.” It reveals the secrets of spiritual struggle with thoughts, cleansing the heart from passions and provides guidelines on the further path to God. Deep rootedness in the patristic tradition serves as a sign of the authenticity of the author’s spiritual experience. However, this work is not a compilation. We are waiting for a meeting with a completely original view on many spiritual issues.
