Prayer Beads. Thoughts-Poems of a Modern Monk

The book collects thoughts - unusual spiritual texts of a modern monk and priest from St. Petersburg. In form, they resemble ancient kondaks, with almost no rhyme and few phrases typical of religious literature. This is an experience of a living conversation with God, characteristic of Christianity in the 20th-21st centuries. In the candid, sharp, and personal texts, readers will find familiar experiences and questions, joy and comfort.
