Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition was compiled from the "Collection of Letters Blessed to the Memory of the Optina Elder Macarius", in six volumes, by Archimandrite John (Zakharchenko), a resident of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Bit by bit, it absorbed all the most valuable, the most important, contained in the letters of the elder, and will help every Christian to begin the active fulfillment of the instructions and covenants of the Monk Macarius, for "the fatherly scriptures are read by deeds. /// The teachings of the Monk Elder Macarius are given in alphabetical order by topic, and each ends with an indication of the volume, letter number and page according to the Collection of Letters, and the numbering of the volumes is as follows: /// Volume 1 - letters to the people of the world; /// Volume 2 - letters to the monks, including two articles compiled by the elder on the basis of the word of God and the scriptures of the holy fathers, and his own excerpts about humility; /// Volumes 3-6 are letters to nuns. /// Just like the previous publishers, the editors of this book considered it expedient to keep the syllable of the Monk Macarius as alive as possible. Spelling as a whole is close to the present day, excluding words with the prefix "without", spelling of proper names and some other cases that give us an idea of the living language of the elder. Quotations from Holy Scripture in the letters of the Monk Elder Macarius are not brought into conformity with the Scriptures, but are given in the account of the elder. We also tried to preserve the author's punctuation, even in cases that do not correspond to modern rules, as this serves to better understand the teachings of the reverend elder. /// Considering the peculiarities of this edition, some explanations of the compiler are given in angle brackets. To improve the perception of the text by the modern reader, some abbreviations are disclosed. /// In some volumes of the Collection of Letters of Elder Macarius 1862-1863, to which a reference is given in the text, the numbering of letters has been violated (in particular, in volumes 4 and 5). In this edition they are given in accordance with the correct numbering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
