The letters Saint Sophrony wrote to David Balfour are a treasury of wisdom, distilled from Father Sophrony’s reading of the Fathers of the Church, from his conversations with Saint Silouan, and from his own experience. Most of the letters in this collection were written to someone new to Orthodox Church and to Orthodox monasticism. Also included are later letters with further theological and spiritual insights. Thus these letters provide a rich source of teaching about Christian faith and life.
