The Life of Saint Ambrose of Optina Retold for Children

Beautiful images of saints are the best ideal for our children. But saints are real people; how to tell about them so that their life experience becomes convincing for children? Our writers know how to create authentic portraits of saints,... telling about them not schematically and officially, but warmly and in a language close to children. For example, the future saint – Sasha Grinkov – was a mischievous child who took a long time to fulfill the promise made to God. From the book, the child will learn how, despite spiritual and physical weaknesses, the elder achieved holiness.
