Who is a holy man? This is probably the one who from childhood always did everything correctly - he obeyed his parents, did not be rude to the elders, studied well... And then he grew up, went to the monastery and became a saint there! After all, the same, right?

is it so. But there are times when both his childhood and his youth spends his man, well, not at all in the same way. And hooligan, and ugly, and studies somehow. You will see this on the street, you will go around the tenth road just in case. But the god of his heart will touch - and a man will suddenly change. Yes, so much that you will not recognize him if you meet. Instead of dirty tricks, it will begin to do good to people, help, intercede for the weak. And sometimes - an amazing thing - just from such people the greatest saints were obtained. About one similar case, this book.
