"I greet the readers of this book in the English-speaking world with all my heart" A review by Antonio Mennini, Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain. Over the years of my ministry in Russia I have been very touched by what I have many times encountered, and what is described in this bookвЂ”the simple, almost child-like religiosity that is not necessarily impeccable, but by virtue of its very inconsistency and imperfection is even more disarming. It is rather a seeking and contemplation of Jesus in everyday life. The gift of sanctity borne in Russian people often expresses that вЂњeveryday holinessвЂќ, reflected particularly in fools-for-Christ and startsy or вЂњeldersвЂќ (monks with a special religious experience, who possess the gift of spiritual guidance and prophecy).

On Pascha We Receive an Invitation to Eternal Life The living feeling of the pulse of eternity, which responds in every Christian, is especially felt on the feast of Pascha, the Resurrection. Little children are aware until they grow up that death is something completely foreign, incomprehensible, and unnatural to man. We adults remember well this perception of the realty of eternity in our childhood as one of the constants of existence of a person only recently come into the world.

Author of Everyday Saints Featured in the Financial Times A publishing sensation in Russia last year - the top-selling book of 2012... Even Gleb Yakunin admits that he and his wife liked the book.

The author: “ In this book I want to tell you about this beautiful new world of mine, where we live by laws completely different from those in “normal” worldly life—a world of light and love, full of wondrous discoveries, hope, happiness, trials and triumphs, where even our defeats acquire profound significance: a world in which, above all, we can always sense powerful manifestations of divine strength and comfort.”
