Life Goes On. One Hundred Wonderful, Comforting, Instructive, and Extraordinary Stories

The new book by Olesya Nikolaeva "Life Goes On" is a series of stories of which she was a witness or participant, telling that a person is not abandoned in the world, not alone: he is under the supervision of God's Providence, saving, merciful, enlightening, but also demanding. This is the writer's talent—to discern amid the hustle and concerns of everyday life the traces of God's presence, to know His Beauty and Wisdom. "To extract the precious from the worthless" (Jer. 15:19), according to the words of the prophet Jeremiah.

And to be filled with gratitude to the Lord—a feeling that the author considers the foundation of personal existence.

Olesya Nikolaeva is the author of many books of poetry, prose, and essays, a laureate of the "Poet" prize, the Patriarchal Literary prize, and the "Word" prize.
