St. Seraphim of Sarov
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
St. Seraphim of Sarov lived in the country where great spiritual writers like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky lived. As the great theologian of 21th century, Karl Rahner said the Spirit of Christ prevals all over the world. St. Seraphim shares the same idea that all human beings are the sons and doughters of God, who is Love. Those who read this book will feel love of God works in St. Seraphim's words and deeds. He who loves St. Fransis of Assisi will find in St. Seraphim their similarities and there is no boudary in thee work of the Spirit of God. We can contemplate what does it means living a good life in this world. I recomand this book to every one searching for meaninful life.
Good, hard to find book

The content is quite good as it relates to the life of the saint. The book itself is poorly made.
Beloved Starets
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
An excellent biography of Saint Seraphim, beloved starets (elder) in the Russian Orthodox tradition. Living in the early 19th. century, he foresaw a disaster coming-a time of troubles unlike any other seen in Russia. An ascetic of great accomplishment and modesty. You will love this book.
