The second book I’ve read on St Seraphim. This is more of a biography that contains some of his teachings. St Seraphim is one of a kind, one of the Greatest Saints from Russia period. He is also my soon to be Patron Saint. Seraphim’s story is beyond inspiring and beautiful. Reading about his life will make you realize how far you are and how much you can grow in Christ. Saints like Seraphim are a testament to the Orthodox Church and her ability to produce great saints. St Seraphim of Sarov pray for us!

A captivating narrative, chocked full of heart-warming stories which perfectly paint a picture of the genuine warmth and holiness of this saint. Lay aside all of your earthly cares, and dive into this one to see for yourself. Simply a fantastic read! Nothing more needs to be said.

One of the first books I was given upon becoming an Orthodox inquirer. I re-read it every year or so. Always refreshing.

It's a good hagiography but it felt as if it was incomplete.
