Sergei Alexandrovich Nilus (1862-1929) was a Russian thinker, spiritual writer, and public figure. According to a contemporary, "Nilus was a brilliant man, a talented musician, artist, and writer. He spoke with extraordinary interest, and his views were profound and original. His faith was unshakable." Nilus was born into a modest landowning family in Moscow. After graduating from high school and university, he served as an official, and after retiring, he worked as a farmhand in the village. It was here that he developed a desire to explore spiritual creativity, which grew stronger and more firmly established after a meeting with Saint John of Kronstadt. The main theme of Nilus's work became the apocalyptic events of the coming time. He called his first major book, published in 1903, "The Great in the Small." It reveals Nilus's spiritual biography and the story of his path to God, including fascinating material related to the life of St. Seraphim of Sarov, as well as a number of essays expressing the author's premonitions of the dire events looming in Russia. Sergei Nilus is convinced that God's will is revealed to people in seemingly insignificant circumstances of their lives.
