£15.00
‘God is Truth and Life, and in Him the saints become living and true.’
This book is a collection of texts which all demonstrate Saint Sophrony’s profound conviction that true life is based on true doctrine.
‘Every religion, all the old and new para-religious forms, the lives of the mystics – all have their ascetic culture, which varies in accordance with the underlying dogmatic consciousness.
