The Burden of Passions: On the Causes of Inner Heaviness
6.99 €
This book is about the inner heaviness that people often carry within themselves without understanding its causes. It's about a state when everything appears fine on the surface, yet life loses its joy and the soul its peace.
Archpriest Andrei Tkachev speaks of passions not as a set of abstract sins, but as habitual states of the soul: irritation, condemnation, pride, the thirst for possession, and spiritual self-confidence. These are the very things that distort a person's view of the world, deprive them of inner freedom, and become an invisible burden that undermines life from within.
This book is not consolation or psychological therapy disguised as faith. It is an honest and sober conversation about the causes of spiritual fatigue, about substitutes for spiritual life, and about repentance as a path to inner healing. The author draws on the Gospel, the patristic tradition, examples from everyday life, and Russian culture, helping the reader see themselves without self-deception or justification.
This book is addressed to those who are ready to take a careful and responsible look at their inner life, seeking not easy answers, but clarity, sobriety, and genuine spiritual order.
