This book conveys a vivid impression of the author’s meetings and conversations with Father Ambrose; it is imbued with a warm religious feeling and testifies to the high and true principles of life. Evgeniy Poselyanin, a spiritual writer and Russian new martyr, left a prominent mark on church educational literature. His work began with the blessing of St. Ambrose, continued for more than a quarter of a century, and after many years of prohibition returns to his reader.
