Book: Kindling the Divine Spark, St. Theophan the Recluse

Steeped in the ancient patristic and ascetic tradition, St. Theophan the Recluse spent twenty-eight years in reclusion, yet he was down-to-earth and very real, making profound, mystical realities understood by those he counseled. The present volume of his instructions given to women examines many essentials of the spiritual life, including: how the heart is purified, inner suffering, spiritual zeal, how to train oneself to pray, and mystical union with the Lord. St. Xenia Skete, 160pps.
