A few months ago, I finally completed reading St John of Kronstadt by IK Sursky. It didn't take me long. It was very well written, and better written than the previous Orthodox book I had purchased. To purchase it I used some birthday money that a friend kindly gifted me. If you've been closely following my instagram posts and stories, you'd know I have no lack of reverence for St John. He's my absolute favourite Russian saint. I believe everyone should read his extraordinary life. His life story was one of the first few saint stories I read in comprehensive detail when I first began to become a more avid and serious spiritual reader a decade ago.
