A Word On Death by Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov

Meer over het boek

Exploring the struggle between spiritual devotion and worldly temptation, the narrative delves into the tactics of demons who undermine monastic life. By promoting the idea that asceticism is unnatural, they aim to weaken the resolve of the devoted, leading them away from salvation and into a life focused on sensual pleasures. This examination of the internal and external battles faced by ascetics highlights the constant threat of distraction and moral decay in the pursuit of a higher calling.
