Living Without Hypocrisy

Description

This modest work is an anthology of
spiritual advice given by various of the nineteenth-century Holy Elders of
Optina Monastery, organized thematically under headings such as spiritual
warfare, the love of neighbor, faith, the will of God, the education of
children, the commandments of God, the path of salvation, etc. Each piece of
advice varies in length from a single sentence to a full paragraph. Pithy,
immediately accessible, and universally applicable, these counsels resemble the
sayings of the ancient Desert Fathers. Appropriate both for prolonged study and
for daily devotional reading.
