by St Tikhon of Voronezh, Wonderworker of Zadonsk
Hardcover: 1604pages
This book is a synthetic work bringing together biblical, dogmatic, practical, moral, ascetical, mystical and devotional reflections and exhortations into a unified compilation. In it, the saint speaks authoritatively with deep conviction and an evident zeal for truth and righteousness. It is clear that he had a great gift for words - he was artistic and simple at the same time.
"Very useful for our time are the works of St. Tikhon of Voronezh... The grace of God inspired the Saint to produce writings especially suitable for our contemporary needs. In these writings the teaching of the Gospel is explained. " -St Ignatius Brianchaninov
"St. Tikhon is a saint whose fervent spirit is needed very much today by Orthodox Christians. We should read him more and practice what he teaches." -Fr Seraphim (Rose)
