Every Day Saints and Other Stories


BOOK REVIEW

Every Day Saints and Other Stories,

Pokrov Publications

$23.00


Having just finished reading a fairly new book entitled: Every Day Saints and Other Stories, I would highly  recommend this as real good reading. It is not a typical life of saints. It is not fiction, but many different tales of Archbishops and monks during Russian Communist rule. It is a very popular   book. Having sold a million copies in less than year. It is a peer into the mysterious soul of  Russia, remarkably described by the author Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov). It is an amazing value, almost 500 pages soft-covered and only $23.00. It is already in ten different languages. Published in Russia, the English has preserved much of its has retained its charm and originality.  In this book we meet very holy people and some who were less holy, and it  offers a broad look into the real world of the Church under  Communism in Russia, and post-Communism.
