In this book, the author describes his meetings with our great contemporary elders, whom he happened to meet. Elders - schema-abbot Jerome (Verendyakin), archpriest Nikolai (Guryanov), schema-archimandrite Feofan (Dankov), archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov), archimandrite Adrian (Kirsanov). Interesting descriptions, both of conversations with them and of those places, of what and who surrounds them, make reading this book fascinating, accessible to the general viewer and heartwarming.
