Each year we begin anew the journey to the radiant feast of Pascha, entering the season of repentance known as Great Lent. The homilies presented in this modest volume, from one of the spiritual giants of the Orthodox Church of Russia, can both encourage and inform us in this struggle of the Fast.
For the first time a selection of St John's Lenten sermons is presented in English translation. They follow the thematic structure of the Lenten season in the Orthodox Church, from the Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee through to Great and Holy Friday. A sermon for St Thomas Sunday, that follows Holy Pascha, is offered as an Epilogue.

How could one give a rating other than 5 stars? Beautiful homilies by one of the greatest modern saints. With no qualification to assess accuracy relative to the original language, the translation is clear and nicely done as far as comprehensible, beautiful English is concerned.
After looking through the book I decided to wait to read it during
