Recommended for publication by the Publishing Council of the Russian Orthodox ChurchIS 13-301-0042...There are thousands of mentors in Christ, but not many fathers, writes the holy Apostle Paul (1 Cor. 4:15). Many parishioners asked the author of this book, Archimandrite Tikhon (Agrikov), to become spiritual children. And now you and I can hear the priest’s precious instructions, read the hitherto hidden lines of his diaries. “There is a very strong desire to “awaken” the believer, but who has fallen asleep in sin... from moral slumber, from a completely careless and vain life,” writes the father Tikhon in this book. At its center is the Holy Gospel. By artistically retelling his events, the priest brings them closer to the realities of our lives, makes them sound so relevant and heartfelt that you again think about the purpose and meaning of Christian life, and again become eager to take the path of correction.Golden-Ship.ru2014
