About the book: year / The name of Bishop Peter (Ekaterinovsky), now undeservedly forgotten, can rightfully be put on a par with the names of Saints Philaret (Drozdov), Metropolitan Moscow, Saint Ignatius (Brianchaninov), Bishop of the Caucasus and Black Sea, Saint Theophan (Govorov), Recluse of Vyshensky. Bishop Peter’s book “Indicating the Path to Salvation” was published several times by Optina Pustyn before the revolution. This testifies to the importance that the Optina elders attached to the book in the spiritual formation of a Christian. Contemporaries wrote: “Works such as “The Path to Salvation” by Bishop Theophan and “Indicating the Path to Salvation” by Bishop Peter, along with “The Invisible Warfare” by Nicodemus the Svyatogorets, should be reference books for pastors».
