Nilus, Serge The blessed fools for Christ: Father Teophilact Avdeev and hieroschemamonk Seraphim Translated from Russian by Boris Buzila Foolishness for Christ is one of the greatest and harshest ways of Christian piety, which some of the most zealous and devout Christians assumed out of love for God and for people. Foolishness for Christ is an ascetic practice as rare as it is difficult and high, and the calling of only the strongest (in both body and soul) and most select men and women. Father Teophilact Avdeev and hieroschemamonk Seraphim are two of these partakers of the Kingdom of God, whose words and deeds reveal the ineffable glory of the life in grace, to those who thirst for unearthly things. Their spiritual journey on earth is vividly depicted by the famous Serge Nilus, a lifelong disciple of the Optina elders and a tireless describer of sainthood. Format: 13 x 20 cm, 256 p.
