Back cover text / Takakannen teksti:
Schema-Igumen John wrote to Yelena Armfelt in March 1949:
”By the grace of God, I am keeping well. I had pains in my heart only on one day during the first week of Lent. By the second week I was perfectly well again, and now I am going to saw wood with Father Viktor. One monk commented to me today, 'They say that you don't saw very much. Only enough to while away the time.' How oifensive! On the other hand, we should really be offended in our minds by those who praise us!"
Igumen Panteleirnon has composed a vivid account of Father John's life and way of thinking based on the staretz' vast correspondence, an account which also gives as an insight into the history of the Valamo brotherhood up to the late 1950's.
