It’s impossible to reach spiritual heights without learning how to greet people. But in the writings of the holy fathers, they don’t teach that—just as they don’t teach how to deal with depression, make friends, raise children, and much else. Ancient Christian asceticism was designed for monks; for laypeople it’s not “the right size.” So maybe it’s worth beginning spiritual work on yourself by cultivating courtesy, delicacy, responsiveness… In the new book by Father Savva, you’ll find a fresh, unexpected look at spiritual life and the same style the readers have come to love: a little philosophy, a bit of humor, and a lot of kindness.
