"Kindness" is spiritual advice, teachings and edification of the holy fathers - ascetic monks of the 4th-15th centuries, capable of teaching every Christian how to deal with and revive his fallen human nature. It is difficult to find another book that would have such a significant impact on the Christian world and was so famous as "Kindness." This book - chosen for the laity from five volumes of "Kindness" in the translation-retelling of St. Theophanes the Recluse with the addition of the sayings of St. Seraphim of Sarov and other Russian saints - was compiled by Archbishop Juvenal (Kilin).
