Book Description
Now in its second printing, this modest work is an anthology of spiritual advice given by various of the nineteenth-century teachers of Optina Monastery in central Russia, 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.

Book Description
St. Gabriel was a renowned Russian elder of 19th- and early 20th-century Russia. His spiritual path led from Optina Monastery (where he received formative guidance under St. Ambrose, Elder of Optina), to the Seven Lakes Monastery in Kazan, and then to the Spaso-Eleazar Monastery in Pskov, at which time he gave spiritual counsel to Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fydorovna and the sisters of her Martha and Mary Convent in Moscow. After receiving a revelation of God's infinite love for man, he was filled with an overflowing love for God and man, which informed his entire life. This book contains his biography written by his close spiritual son, his teachings and homilies, his letters to his spiritual children, a biography of the author, and an Akathist service to St. Gabriel.--Publisher.
