Book Description
Now in its second printing, this modest work is an anthology of spiritual advice given by various of the nineteenth-century teachers of Optina Monastery in central Russia, organized thematically under headings such as spiritual warfare, the love of neighbor, faith, the will of God, the education of children, the commandments of God, the path of salvation, etc. Each piece of advice varies in length from a single sentence to a full paragraph. Pithy, immediately accessible, and universally applicable, these counsels resemble the sayings of the ancient Desert Fathers. Appropriate both for prolonged study and for daily devotional reading.

Book Description
Optina Monastery began its revival in the early 1800's and was a thriving center of spirituality until 1923, when the Communists forcibly closed it. Elder Nektary was the last elder to live at Optina and he was arrested and expelled. His entire life is told here with emphasis on his development as an elder, and contains sections on his spiritual counsels through letters and anecdotes of his life.

“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html If you do any mercy to anyone, you will be pardoned for that. If you suffer with a suffering person (it is not great, it seems, this is) - you are numbered as martyrs. If you forgive the offender, for this all your sins will be forgiven. Advice and guidance from Moses of Optina On the pages of this book, in the biographies of the elders, the whole history of Optina Hermitage will pass before you - the foundation, the time of prosperity and the closure of the monastery. There were few of them, the Optina elders - fourteen in a hundred years. Thanks to them, Optina Desert became the spiritual center of Russia and a place of pilgrimage for many people. In the 19th century they said: "[Go] To Optina for [the sake of (gaining)] experience." And they went ... with troubles and illnesses - ordinary people, with questions about the meaning of life - representatives of the intelligentsia. More than once the Kireyevsky brothers came to Optina Desert, N.V. Gogol, F.M. Dostoevsky, L.N. Tolstoy.

Book Description
“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html “Inasmuch as you don't want to be stubborn, sail to Valaam, and if you don't want to be harsh, go to Sarov. If you want to be experienced, go to Optina,” Russian people used to say in the old days. And not without reason. Optina Desert raised in its monastery walls a whole galaxy of elders who were distinguished by the most valuable spiritual gift - the gift of reasoning. Not only ordinary people came to them for advice, but also the intelligentsia - great Russian writers and public figures: F.M. Dostoevsky, N.V. Gogol, L.N. Tolstoy, K.N. Leontiev, V.S. Soloviev. The elders, wise in spiritual experience, opened the will of God to those who were asking, consoled in difficult life trials, diverted them from sinful life and turned to repentance - sometimes strictly, and sometimes with a joke-joke. The advice and instructions of the elders, preserved in letters or spoken in conversations and recorded by eyewitnesses, are relevant at all times, and especially in ours, meager spiritual mentors. The teachings collected in this book are only a small part of the richest Optina treasury. Great and incomparably beautiful is the river of God - Holy Optina! This river flows from the sources of temporary life in the sea of eternally joyful endless life in the kingdom of the inexorable Light, and it bears on itself the boats and its desert inhabitants, and many other mournful, tortured, suffering souls who have found the truth of life at the feet of the great Optina elders. What miracles, what signs of the mercy of God, as well as his righteous anger, are not concealed in the transparent deep life-giving waters of this majestic, beautiful, mysteriously wonderful river! How many times from its picturesque bank, covered with a tent of lush green pines and firs, wrapped in the coolness of curly oaks, lace birches, aspens and maples of the reserved monastery forest, my seine descended into its bottomless depths, as clear as rock crystal, and -not in vain ... Oh, blessed Optina! S. A. Nilus If you do any mercy to anyone, you will be pardoned for that. If you suffer with a suffering person (it is not great, it seems, this is) - you are numbered as martyrs. If you forgive the offender, for this all your sins will be forgiven. Advice and guidance from Moses of Optina

Book Description
From divine visions to self-tortures, some strange mystical experiences have shaped the Christian tradition as we know it. Full of colourful detail, Mystics of the Christian Tradition examines the mystical experiences that have determined the history of Christianity over two thousand years, and reveals the often sexual nature of these encounters with the divine. In this fascinating account, Fanning reveals how God's direct revelation to St Francis of Assisi led to his living with lepers and kissing their sores, and describes the mystical life of Margery Kempe who 'took weeping to new decibel levels'. Through presenting the lives of almost a hundred mystics, this broad survey invites us to consider what it means to be a mystic and to explore how people such as Joan of Arc had their lives determined by divine visions. Mystics of the Christian Tradition is a comprehensive guide to discovering what mysticism means and who the mystics of the Christian tradition actually were.
