Что есть духовная жизнь и как на нее настроиться?

Saint Theophan the Recluse (in the world Georgy Vasilyevich Govorov; 1815-1894) - theologian, publicist-preacher. He holds a special place among Russian preachers and saints of the 19th century. The saint saw his ministry in the service of the Church of... God as a feat of spiritual-literary creativity. "To write," he said, "is a necessary service to the Church." He dedicated his entire pastoral activity to explaining the path of true Christian life, based on spiritual concentration. Theophan the Recluse left a huge theological legacy: works on the explanation of the Word of God, translated works, writings on asceticism and psychology. His creations astonish with their encyclopedic breadth and diversity of theological interests. The main theme of the works of Saint Theophan is salvation in Christ. This theme also became defining in the teachings that make up the book "What is spiritual life and how to tune into it?".
