200 chapters of the Monk John Climacus: John Rev.

200 chapters of this publication, offered to the attention of the reader, were elected from the famous creation of the Monk John Climacus “Lyrine, Elections to Heaven.” For fourteen centuries, this book invariably serves the leadership of the salvation of the soul to all thirsty for spiritual improvement.
How to defeat the intrigues of the devil, peace and flesh that block the path to the heavenly kingdom? How to know and overcome yourself? How to enter the extent of the perfection of the spiritual? The answers to these and other questions that our conscience persistently ask us, we will find in the spiritual creation of the Monk John Climacus.
For this publication, a sample of those texts from the “ladder” that are available for understanding and applicable to the life of pious laity was made. This approach makes it possible to get acquainted with the book and the novice Christian, to the one who recently came to faith and strives for spiritual life. We hope that, having read these chosen chapters, the reader will eventually want to turn to the complete edition of the “ladder”.
