About the book: 2023 / Priest Confessor Archpriest Georgy Kossov was an ordinary family priest who was sent to serve in a poor parish in the Bolkhovsky district of the Oryol region. But, having gone through many trials and temptations, he gained enormous spiritual strength and became a popularly beloved elder, whose fame during his lifetime spread far beyond the borders of the Oryol land. It’s not for nothing that people affectionately called him “Father Abrosim’s heir.” Father George was respected by the Optina elders, the holy righteous John of Kronstadt spoke about his spirituality, the elder John Krestyankin deeply revered him, and Sergei Nilus in his book “Great in Small” put him on a par with the great ascetics of the Russian land. Father George is still loved and revered, because he is one of those saints who are called ambulances to the rescue. This book contains materials dedicated to Father George: the work of N. N. Usov “The Source of Living Water. Hieroconfessor Archpriest Georgy Kossov,” chapter from the book by S. A. Nilus “Great in Small” - “Father Egor Chekryakovsky,” excerpt from the works of S. A. Nilus. Seraphim (Chichagova) “On the revival of parish life”, akathist and other prayer appeals to the priest.
