The Path to Life for All Whom It Is Given to Be Born a Human

Repentance. Humility. Forgiveness of offenses. Prayer for the deceased. The mystery of the Eucharist and the Cross — the path to salvation, which is rarely spoken of simply and honestly.
Archpriest Andrey Tkachev, a renowned preacher and author of 30 books, guides the reader through the entire church year — from Great Lent and Passion Week to Easter and Pentecost — and explains what it truly means to live a Christian life.
Through parables about the prodigal son, the tax collector, and the Pharisee, the author discusses how to recognize pride within oneself, how to learn to forgive, and why prayer for loved ones, both living and deceased, is not a formality, but an expression of love.

This book is for you if you:
- want to understand the meaning of Orthodox sacraments and church celebrations;
- seek not consolation, but an honest conversation about faith;
- are preparing for Lent and wish to observe it meaningfully;
- pray for your loved ones and want to know how to help their souls.
