Man of God: Saint John of Shanghai & San Francisco
| Translated from the Russian Compiled by Archpriest Peter Perekrestov
“The time has come to especially invoke the prayerful aid of Archbishop John, that these days dedicated to his memory might be spent in a worthy manner. This book is being published on the occasion of the silver, i.e., the twenty-fifth anniversary of the repose of our ever-memorable Vladika John. The Lord granted the compiler of this book the joy of gathering revealing materials, which have been arranged into four sections. The book does not pretend to exhaust its subject. An effort was made to avoid duplicating what was printed soon after Vladika’s repose, although the section of reminiscences concludes with Metropolitan Philaret’s well-known eulogy which he gave at Vladika’s funeral. This section tells about Vladika’s faith as witnessed by his deeds, about his ready accessibility, his lack of self-interest, his unremitting spiritual struggles. The section of testimonies concerning his prayerful intercession vividly explains why it is that people’s hearts are so drawn to Vladika John, and why he and his power of prayer have become so widely known—everywhere help is needed! The third section contains some of his sermons. Although not long, it wonderfully conveys the inspiration of an Orthodox hierarch[...]. The fourth section is comprised primarily of a number of decrees issued by Vladika John, reflecting his strictness, particularly regarding the clergy.” —“INTRODUCTION TO THE RUSSIAN EDITION”
