With a foreword by Timothy G. Patitsas, author of The Ethics of Beauty.
From a Soviet-era childhood to his youthful awakening as an Orthodox believer, through ordination and thirty years as a Moscow pastor and confessor, Archpriest Artemy Vladimirov chronicles the heroic efforts of clergy and faithful to re-establish a vibrant and creative Orthodox presence in the new Russia. Fr. Artemy's inner world is revealed in small, unforgettable vignettes of struggle and grace: his insights, reflections, and warm humor rank this as one of the most authentic and inspiring Orthodox memoirs in print.
