The Art of Small Steps. Stories and Chronicles from the Life of a Priest

The Art of Small Steps is a new collection by Father Alexander Dyachenko. The author shares with the reader joyful and tragic stories from the lives of the parishioners of the church in the Vladimir region, where he has served... for more than twenty years. These stories, varied in themes, plots, and characters, are united by one important feature characteristic of all the texts of this author—they are completely and unequivocally true. No artist's imagination can invent the sometimes fantastical twists of human destinies, paradoxes, and coincidences that are so rich in Father Alexander's pastoral experience, who sensitively and precisely feels and hears life and, in it, the will of the Creator.
