This collection of sayings from the Holy Elders of Optina Monastery in Russia is newly translated by Archimandrite George of Holy Trinity Monastery. These brief and powerful instructions on the spiritual life are comparable to the sayings of the Desert Fathers, whose spirit and way of life the Optina Elders truly shared. The book provides an excellent source of spiritual nourishment for Orthodox Christians of all walks of life and all levels of spiritual experience. It may also serve as a powerful introduction to Orthodox spirituality for those who have but newly encountered the fullness of the Apostolic Faith. This hardcover edition has large, very readable print and handsome decorated page layouts. The sayings are arranged by topic. A few choice drawing and monochrome photos of Optina complete a highly giftable volume which delights the eye as well as the soul. Randall Mark Trainer
