“While living in times oppressive to human dignity, which has been elevated as high as possible by Christianity, and which is being strangled by contemporary materialism, we have great need of a powerful spiritual light from above. The present book offers this light. The Christian, and especially the Orthodox Christian, is “not of this world.” He belongs to the Church of persecutions and martyrs; the Church which believes in the triumph of life after death, and the Church which believes that from the tomb springs immortal life. He belongs to the Church which does not measure life by material enjoyment, but by deeds which have eternal moral value. This book is offered to every Christian who desires to elevate himself to a position of sonship to the Father, and who desires immortality as a natural state. It is offered to every Christian who desires to be freed from materialism and united to the spirit. It is offered to every Christian of our era who does not venerate the life of this world, and who would transform it into death. To the struggling Christian of today who wishes to be a successful victor in eternity, this book is offered with prayerful heart and warm paternal values.” — from the Foreword by Archbishop Iakovos of the Greek Orthodox Church of North and South America
