“The best known of the Orthodox saints of modern times, St. Seraphim of Sarov, has much to teach the Orthodox Christians of these last times. Unfortunately, the striking nature of some of his spiritual experiences—which indeed stand in glaring contrast to the ordinary Christian experience of our days—has led some to miss the whole point of his teaching. [...]Only with great humility on our part—which we can learn from the profound humility of ‘poor Seraphim,’ as he called himself—can we hope to receive and apply this teaching of the true Christian spiritual life to our own poor Christian lives.” —“Introduction”
