This book is a guide in the form of practical advice for the arrangement of spiritual life, compiled according to the original system of St. Theophanes himself. Each section of this system (the Divine basis of the world and the Church; the structure of human nature in creation; human nature after the fall; the return to the original state of grace) is the thoughts and teachings of the saint, selected and grouped according to the questions that arise for every Christian. More than one and a half hundred topics of spiritual life are considered. Pre-revolutionary editions of St. Theophan's books, the "Collection of Letters" in 8 volumes, Orthodox almanacs, magazines, diocesan bulletins and other sources, rare in our time, are used. This is the most complete to date outline guide to the spiritual life on the works of St. Theophanes, supplemented by an alphabetical thematic index. The preface contains a hagiography of the saint.
