His words are frequently embellished by scripture and together these call the reader to repentance and a fuller embrace of godly living. In a world that typically only values material goods his writing constantly reminds the reader of that which is of true value -- the knowledge and love of God. The reader also finds encouragement in the struggle to overcome sin and to acquire virtue which is the fundamental battle of the Christian as the war is waged against the passions. It is a fight worth the effort. St Tikhon's message is clear: True riches are not of this world, but of the age to come. These riches both can and should be acquired now. As the reader progresses deeper into this work his soul will find refreshment, purpose and meaning for his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e St Tikhon Of Zadonsk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884654826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884654827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Holy Trinity Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.91w x 1.34d","brand":"St Tikhon Of Zadonsk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717840531711,"sku":"9780884654827","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_553768cc-dab3-4bff-9bd8-3f8419677e02.jpg?v=1705689633","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-gathering-of-spiritual-riches-st-tikhon-of-zadonsk-9780884654827","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
