The book was compiled at the beginning of the 20th century by Archpriest Alexy Bobrov according to the letters of St. Theophan the Recluse. Father Alexy, choosing the most significant instructions from the private correspondence of the holy archpastor, systematized them and distributed them into thematic sections. These are truly wise, tested by the experience of spiritual life, tips, mainly about prayer, about worldly life, about the fight against passions, about sorrows and hope of the Lord. Each section accompanies a brief preface by the compiler, in which private issues are specified, and the application of tips to various circumstances of everyday life is shown. The second part of the book is a brief symphony of the creations of St. Theophanes, containing the most significant quotes from his letters in subjects located in alphabetical order.
The publication is addressed to all Christians looking for leadership in spiritual life.
