<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Startling in their clarity and universal in their appeal, this collection of sermons from the Russian village priest Father Ilarion offer hope,and argue for the necessity of repentance. Having preached for more than 40 years, from 1966 until his death in 2008, Father Ilarion conveyed a potent message of the possibilities that open to the human souls who turn to God with singleness of mind and humility. From Sunday sermons to inspirational homilies throughout the Church year, this compilation also illustrates the Russian Soviet and post-communist religious expression.
