Following the example of all the Spirit-moved fathers of the Church throughout the centuries, Elder Ephraim in our days continues inspiring us to repent while simultaneously setting forth for us how to “bear fruits worthy of repentance.” This volume contains thirty three homilies that are indeed alive, informative, and inspiring. If you are plagued by sinful passions, this book will instruct you how to decrease them. If you are confronted by temptations, it will encourage you to deal with them. If you are overcome by indifference, it will infuse you with heavenly zeal. If you are battled by despair, it will show you how to draw hope. If you are assaulted by pride, it will inform you how to develop humility. In one word, it outlines, with profound simplicity, the art that securely leads to salvation.
