For those seeking deeper spiritual growth and truth.

The Struggle for Virtue clarifies asceticism's role.

You will find peace and virtue in your spiritual journey.

Discover the wisdom of Archbishop Averky as he explains asceticism and its vital role in nurturing virtue and deepening your relationship with God.

Archbishop Averky is considered one of the great scholars of 20th-century Orthodoxy and this book brings to the English-speaking world his answer to the question "What is asceticism?" A bearer of the saving doctrine of the Patristic teaching, he steadfastly defended traditional Orthodoxy and passed on this teaching through his commentaries on Scripture and other works in the Russian language. In showing how evil is rooted out and virtue is implanted in the soul, Archbishop Averky counters the many false understandings that exist showing that the practice of authentic asceticism is integral to the spiritual life and the path to blessed communion with God.
