“In this volume, we are completing the work of the Missionary Letters of Saint Nikolai. Once more we are taken into a world of correspondence between Saint Nikolai and the ordinary people of the 1920’s and the 1930’s, and once more we see that most of the issues discussed in the letters are as current today as they were 80 or 90 years. Once again, we see practical questions and answers which occur in the spiritual struggle. We see people dealing with the same spiritual issues that people deal with today, both positive and negative, and we see the responses of Saint Nikolai, measured with surgical precision and filled with love.” —“A WORD ABOUT THE THIRD VOLUME”
