How asceticism helps us in everyday life. Sergeant P.B., Priest, Fomin V.V., Priest

The book talks about the need for a feat in everyday Christian life - renunciation of sinful habits. Without realizing the need to correct yourself, it is impossible to get rid of sin, to free yourself from passions. Without spiritual feat, it is impossible to approach Christ. A daily exercise in good deeds - this is the asceticism of everyday life.

What is the main thing in spiritual life? Do we need asceticism if life is already difficult? If family people try on monastic austerity, is it always useful? How can the Bible reading can strengthen us on the life path? Through what stages of spiritual growth a Christian passes? Why does the "post -Christian" society deny the concept of sin and cultivates passions? Priests Pavel Sergeant and Vyacheslav Fomin are thinking about these difficult issues.

The book is based on the rich spiritual heritage of the Holy Fathers-Translators, as well as on the personal experience of the authors. For a wide range of readers striving for repentance and gospel perfection.
