About the book: 2011 / The book of Archimandrite Tikhon (in the world - Georgy Shevkunov), is a collection of real stories, sometimes sad, sometimes funny, sometimes touching. The author does not seek to idealize his heroes, however, their humanity, spirituality, warmth - these qualities are extremely important to the writer. It is not without reason that these stories are used by Father Tikhon in sermons and conversations. Despite the fact that the book is about people “who came to the monastery,” it will interest not only readers of different beliefs and confessions, but also simply secular people. 2nd edition, revised.
