A Short Biography of St John of Tobolsk
These readings are taken from:
The Sunflower: Conforming the Will of Man to the Will of God.
by John of Tobolsk
ISBN: 9780884654605
Saint John addresses fundamental questions: Why should we care about God’s will ? What are the benefits in following His will? How do we avoid common obstacles to living in accordance with His will? The reader will find practical and eternal wisdom running through these writings that discuss the perennial questions of why a good God permits evil. This is the first English edition of St John’s text, edited and abbreviated for the contemporary reader.
Music:
Sticheron “On the Praises” (Pentecost) and Sessional Hymn After the Polyeleos (Nativity of Christ).
