Ask Father! About God for Teens and Youth

Who is God and where is He? How can one understand what He expects from a person? What does love really mean? How to learn to live in peace with your parents? These topics concern many people—and especially teenagers and young adults.

In his new book, Father Pavel Ostrovsky, rector of the Georgievsky Church in Nakhabino, speaks precisely to young readers: he answers their questions and helps them see the depth and meaning of faith. “Ask Father!” grew out of Father Pavel’s live conversations with teenagers—those taking their first steps in Orthodoxy and often facing inner doubts, contradictions, and strong emotional experiences. Like his previous books—“First Steps to God,” “The Unknown Bible,” and “God for Children”—this is a trusting, kind conversation with those who want to overcome confusion and come to openness of the heart. With sincerity and real paternal warmth, Pavel Ostrovsky shares with readers evangelical wisdom, speaking to those for whom questions of faith and life are not indifferent.
