Ordinary Wonders: Stories of Unexpected Grace,
by Olesia Nikolaeva
ISBN: 9780884654230
Ordinary Wonders was first published in English in 2018. In this collection of stories as whimsical as their titles, award-winning author Olesia Nikolaeva poignantly recounts life for Christian believers in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. In a manner reminiscent of the bestselling “Everyday Saints” these tales reveal a common theme – the subtle, sometimes imperceptible movement of Divine Providence at work in the lives of saints and sinners alike. Her writings bring us to what the ancient Celts called “thin places” where the boundaries of heaven and earth meet and the sacred and the secular can no longer be distinguished. The book can be ordered directly from the publisher at HTP Bookstore, or wherever books are sold.
Music:
Sticheron “On the Praises” (Pentecost) and Sessional Hymn After the Polyeleos (Nativity of Christ).
