Soulful-hearted teachings of the Monk Ambrose of Optina

The life of the Monk Ambrose as a saint of God did not cease after his death. The Monk of Optina, the elder of Ambrose, is numbered in the saints' year of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus for the sanctity of life and the virtues she has shown: humility, evangelical love for neighbors, foresight and miracles. It remains for us and his spiritual heritage - a lot of letters written to them both by monastics and laymen. They can find answers to a wide variety of questions: theological, moral, everyday. For all there were necessary and important words, strengthening in the faith, again raising to spiritual warfare, returning hope for salvation. By these letters, a real book was compiled, which collected and united in itself much of what the elder said at different times and to different persons.
