Seraphim Alexiev, archim. Spiritual life: grounds, hazards, mystical experiences Translation from Bulgarian by Gheorghiţă Ciocioi Second edition Issued 2011 The present book is a collection of the most popular spiritual writings of the renowned theologian and spiritual director Seraphim Alexiev (1912-1993) – "The spiritual life of the Orthodox Christian" and "On Spiritual Life and Deception", which were translated, shortly after publication, in several languages and proved to be really useful to the Orthodox Christians throughout the world. The first book presents the saints’ well trodden path which Christians must take in order to achieve salvation, while the second book warns us about the dangers that appear at every step – threatening both those on the left, and especially those on the right (dreams, visions, various deceits etc.). At the end is added a useful Directory for pious living, written by the Holy Archbishop Platon of Kostroma (1809-1877), to provide today’s Christians with a brief, but illuminating guidebook for spiritual life.
