In "Лествице" reverend John showed, as step by step, step after a step as though on a spiritual stair it is necessary to every christian to ascend to God. In fact it is very important to have a hard reference-point and landmarks of this ascent, to stay the course, able and correctly to overcome inevitably arising up on a way to God obstacles, always to see an ultimate goal and methods of her achievement or even methods of approaching to her. 30 stages "Лествицы" teach us to contest not only with sins but also with nesting into us passions, bring up and grow virtues in us, help to contest us with a spiritual impurity.Edition is counted on the wide circle of the Orthodox readers.
