Description

Silouan, an unlettered young peasant from the heart of European Russia, finished his military service in the autumn of 1892 and within a week set off for the Russian Monastery of St Panteleimon on Mount Athos. This account of Silouan’s life, written by his disciple Archimandrite Sophrony, reveals not only Silouan’s personality and teaching, but also the spiritual struggles which truly made him a staretz (i.e., a monk whose God-given wisdom and insight enable him to serve as a spiritual guide for others).

In this account of Silouan’s life, personality, and teaching,  by his disciple Archimandrite Sophrony, we witness the spiritual struggles which made Silouan truly a “Staretz” or “Elder”: a monk whose God-given wisdom and insight enable him to serve as a spiritual guide to others. As in Startz Silouan’s own writings, gathered in a companion volume, Wisodom from Mount Athos, we find God’s message to the man who would “put on” God: “learn to be humble”, “keep thy mind in hell, and despair not.”
