Gazing at the Face of Christ. The Gospel as an Invitation to Joy

The book by Metropolitan Amvrosiy (Yermakov) of Tver and Kashin is an experience of reading the Gospel as an experience of recognizing God, full of joy, wonder, and gratitude. Opening the pages of the Gospel, the author seeks to hear... in it the personal address of the Lord to us, to see the eternal novelty of the Gospel message that overturns our understanding of ourselves, the world, and God. In the ocean of meanings of the Gospel, the bishop searches for answers to questions about encountering Christ, following Him, the mystery of the Cross, and how a Christian should relate to the trials that come his way.
