St. Innocent, Apostle To America

Plot

This eminently readable biography traces the course of North America's beloved Orthodox saint, Innocent of Alaska: his boyhood in Siberia, his call to mission in America, his labors first as a priest and then as a bishop in America and Asia, and his last years as Metropolitan of Moscow. Extracts from st Innocent's personal diary and correspondence reveal his day-to-day pain and drudgery, as well as amazing spiritual experiences. This portrait fully describes him as a man of affection with an unfailing sense of humor. In this work, St Innocent emerges as an apt and accessible example of a dedicated bondservant of Jesus Christ
