Happiness is in your heart. How to love God by loving yourself

The greatest talent in the world is love; without it, all other abilities are worth nothing. But how do we develop this great gift within ourselves? First, we need to know ourselves, to honestly look deep into our own souls:... without this, it’s impossible to get closer to God. By sharing stories from his life, the renowned Greek missionary and preacher Archimandrite Andrew (Konanos) reveals his weaknesses and encourages us not to be afraid of our own mistakes, to rise and move forward. What can you do, you are human. It’s nothing, we will improve! — he says in his new book, filling us with joy, freshness, and the oxygen of sincere faith.
