A fashionable book about Catholics. “The Flights of the Ladybug” is made up of curious stories and conversations about how Christians live in different countries around the world and in Russia. Without the slightest embarrassment, the authors discuss questions like: why do girls so often fall in love with priests who have taken vows of celibacy? Can you find an ideal partner through prayer? Do they remember the taste of strawberries in heaven, and do they experience erotic feelings?
Most colorful in this honest and cheerful book are the personalities of its authors: a well-known journalist and TV presenter Olga Bakushinskaya, who converted to Catholicism (“Scandalous Life with Olga B.,” “PRO life”), and her spiritual guide, Father Eduard, a monk of the Order of the Assumption, who lives in Canada.
“The Flights of the Ladybug” is a dizzying ride of new thoughts and feelings for believers and non-believers alike.
