Stenyaev Oleg, ArchpriestSchool of Survival: a man in a world of temptations. M.: Charitable Foundation "Missionary Center named after Priest Daniil Sysoev", 2012. – 304 pp.

Earthly life is a school that has its own final exam, which reveals what is hidden in the heart. In the school of life, we are also given daily tests - tests of will, when temptations come that bring “woe to the world” (Matthew 18:7). “I have offered you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life, so that you and your descendants may live” (Deut. 30:19), says the Lord. Two paths - life and death - lie before us. What turns us away from eternal and blissful life, what attracts us to eternal death? Pleasant to look at, attractive temptations that bring death under a colorful guise. How to overcome temptations, how not to fall into the insidious snares of the “murderer from time immemorial”? The book is intended for a Christian who wants to prepare a pure and immaculate heart for the Lord. ISBN 978-5-4279-0028-7
