In this book, readers will meet both familiar heroes and new characters. A priest-writer helps find answers to questions that trouble an Orthodox layperson: strengthening faith in God, fighting passions, constant prayer, and what changes in a person’s life when they come to the Orthodox Church. The book tells about a pilgrimage to Mount Athos that allowed the heroes to feel the life-giving power of these holy places and to come into contact with the world of Orthodoxy’s greatest values.
