Spiritual Counsels: select passages from MY LIFE IN CHRIST
Father John of Kronstadt Edited and Introduced by W. Jardine Grisbooke
“Father John’s principal work, My Life in Christ, is a massive volume of some three hundred thousand words, and it has been no simple task to extract from it passages amounting to only a fifth of the total, and yet preserve the balance of his teaching. [...But i]t was not[...]impossible, to produce a very much shorter book which should nevertheless convey adequately the substance of the author’s teaching. The contents of the present volume have been selected and arranged, first, to give a reasonably balanced picture of Father John’s teaching, and, second, to provide a useful manual of spiritual advice for the believer of today.” —“Introduction”
