Compiled by Metropolitan Seraphim Chichagov
Introduction by Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia (Ware)
Leather bound Flexi-Cover – in Slipcase - 1024 pages
First English translation of a story of miracles, love, hate, faith and betrayal; but sorrow and sadness is overcome by prophecy and unimaginable joy. This is a story of simple folk and spiritual giants in 19th century Russia. It’s the story depicting the extraordinary life of a boy becoming the world beloved St Seraphim of Sarov. We encounter a man full of joy to whom flocked thousands of people – and still do. We encounter so many individuals searching for something more than their immediate surroundings, we enter the Convent in Diveyevo and see life inside.
This historical tale was compiled by Metropolitan Seraphim (Chichagov) who was martyred by Bolsheviks in 1937, from 60 notebooks of first person testimony, published in 1903, saved from destruction by communists.

Everything was perfect, as usual.
A polite gentleman took my order. It was mailed in a timely manner. It arrived in good condition, and it is an excellent text (which I already knew) :-)
This book is so valuable and inspiring to me that I read a chapter or two every day. The real life stories about St Seraphim are so heartwarming that I simply dread when I shall finish and have no more pages to accompany my day. But I've promised myself I will just start to read it all over again! Beautifully bound book! Very grateful for this English translation!
