"Courage is to conquer your passions" - these are the words of one of the five conversations that are included in this collection. They belong to the Athos elder Moses (1952-2014). These conversations are about the destructiveness for the soul of sinful passions, the struggle against them and the acquisition of the Holy Spirit - the main goal of the life of every Christian. The simple language of the author and his loyalty to the patristic tradition make conversations understandable to the modern reader and will help him on the path of spiritual life.
