Reference is made to the Hesychast tradition of the Orthodox Church, including two of the most influential figures in contemporary Christianity: Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938) and Saint Sophrony the Athonite (1896-1993).
Delivered in Wichita, Kansas at the 2007 Clergy Brotherhood Retreat of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church, each lecture (divided here into chapters) is published in full, together with its corresponding Questions & Answers.

‘In temptations and sufferings, it is not we who make the plans, we do not choose our cross, but we accept the cross that the all wise Providence of God allows in our life. God knows how big or small a cross we need. He will give us just that cross which is absolutely right and necessary for us to be disentangled from all our attachments in this transitory life, and to run after Christ with a free heart.’

Reading is very clear. It makes the material easier to understand. The book is very inspiring and edifying. The audio versions make it more accessible to more people. It helps to listen to the audio and read the book at the same time. I’m looking forward to more of Fr Zacharias books on audio. Thank you!

I would like to say is that through each book, CD, and Divine Liturgy that God allowed me to find in this beautiful monastery of Saint John the Baptist in Essex, I feel like I am claiming a mountain, little by little. Thank you!

I have listened to part of the audiobook which was easy to access, me being a non tech person and without needing any help. Beautiful clear audio.
Gabriela (verified owner) –
Thank you so much for launching the audio book, it is a great initiative, the reading is very clear, reminds me of the readings during meal time while visiting the monastery. It is so easy to listen while doing some other work, and getting answers to questions that have been on the mind for a long while. Hope there will be more such audio books, these are very helpful! Thank you so much for it!
