What is a sober life from a Christian perspective? The meaning of this concept is both very broad and extremely specific. A sober life is spiritual vigilance, guarding the mind and heart from sinful temptations—in short, it is a constant inner presence with God. The book you hold in your hands is a collection of commentaries by Archimandrite Aemilian (Vafidis) on the ascetic rules of the ancient holy fathers. Elder Aemilian, an experienced spiritual father with a profound understanding of the mysteries of the human soul, interprets these rules for the modern era. This book could be called a textbook on sobriety—so subtly, thoroughly, and vividly does it describe the art of cutting off sin at its very roots. The rules presented in the book cover a vast range of topics: from the basics of spiritual etiquette to the subtleties of mental prayer, from the psychology of negligence and despondency to methods for acquiring dispassion. But no matter what this or that rule says, the elder, interpreting it, always teaches us a lesson in sobriety, that is, a lesson in holiness.
