Description
A humble Russian peasant's search for truth begins with a simple statement: "By the grace of God I am a Christian man..." This profound and deeply personal account follows his journey as he attempts to follow St. Paul's command to pray without ceasing, using the Jesus Prayer to attain a greater intimacy with God. Through his experiences, the author offers a unique perspective on Russia's social conditions during a time of great change, while also exploring profound theological and philosophical themes. This authentic portrait of life in 19th-century Russia is complemented by encounters with a wide range of people, from monks to peasants, intellectuals to hermits. Readers interested in spirituality, philosophy, or the works of authors such as Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy may find this book a compelling and thought-provoking read.
