This richly illustrated Life of Saint Seraphim, compiled by the renowned spiritual writer and disciple of the Optina Elders, Helen Kontsevitch, includes the Saint's astounding teaching on the acquisition of the Holy Spirit and concludes with an account of his canonization in 1903.

The life of Saint Seraphim is inextricably connected with the creation of the Holy Trinity Convent of Diveyevo, under the spiritual direction of the Mother of God. Today Diveyevo, having been resurrected after decades of communist rule, serves as the home of Saint Seraphim's relics and as a center of grace and healing. As the accounts of the holy nuns and pilgrims here testify, Saint Seraphim continues his work at Diveyevo even now, bringing joy to countless souls through his intercession before the throne of God. Includes:

The Life of Saint Seraphim of Sarov, richly illustrated. Saint Seraphim's teaching on the acquisition o the Holy Spirit. The canonization of Saint Seraphim at Sarov Monastery, with illustrations.
