She met there the monks Nektary and Anatoly who facilitated her own search for spiritual truth. This is her vivid account of these meetings, consisting of two parts: "Recollections about the Optina Elder Hieroschemamonk Nektary" and " My First Trip to the Optina Hermitage, and my Visit with Elder Hieroschemamonk Anatoly." A short glossary of commonly used terms is provided at the end. The text provides a fascinating glimpse into the reality of daily life in the early days of Communist rule in Russia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: The Orthodox Understanding of Salvation brings together some of Dr. Veniamin’s talks and articles, hitherto available in relatively little-known theological journals and periodicals, which pertain to the fundamental question of the purpose of human existence, to Salvation, as understood in the age-old and unbroken tradition of the Orthodox Christian Faith - the faith of the Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, Martyrs and Saints of our Lord, God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Dr. Christopher Veniamin is a spiritual child of St. Sophrony the Athonite (1896-1993), a graduate of the Universities of Thessalonica and Oxford, has served as Professor of Patristics at St. Tikhon’s Seminary (1994-2023), and as Dean and COO of The Antiochian House of Studies (2015-2020). He is also the author of The Orthodox Understanding of Salvation: "Theosis" in Scripture and Tradition; and The Transfiguration of Christ in Greek Patristic Literature: From Irenaeus of Lyons to Gregory Palamas With Addendum The Transfiguration of Christ in the "Spiritual Homilies" of Macarius the Egyptian. His translation, Saint Gregory Palamas: The Homilies, for which he wrote a prodigious number of scholia, is arguably the greates single-volume commentary on the Bible in Patristic literature.
