Ascetics in the World-Volume Two continues with 24 more inspirational examples of pious Orthodox Christians. These stories demonstrate that sanctification is within reach for anyone who lives in deep faith and embraces the path of inner purification, self-control, and unceasing prayer. Translated by Fr. Nicholas Palis, Orthodox Elders & Spirituality, Inc.
Readers meet men and women whose faithfulness in daily circumstances bore the fruit of sanctity, offering concrete examples of Orthodox spirituality lived out in the world.
This book is intended for Orthodox Christians and seekers who want encouragement in their spiritual struggle, as well as for readers of Orthodox hagiography, ascetic literature, and lives of modern righteous ones. It makes thoughtful devotional reading for Lent, Nativity Fast, or any season of spiritual renewal.
As the second volume in the Ascetics in the World series, it stands on its own while also complementing Volume One for readers who want to continue journeying with pious Orthodox examples. It is a meaningful gift for godchildren, catechumens, clergy, and anyone drawn to the witness of holy lives.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.”— Colossians 3:16
