For those seeking inspiration from saints' lives.

"Herman: A Wilderness Saint" reveals St. Herman's story.

You’ll learn how to respect nature and community better.

Discover the inspiring story of St. Herman, a Russian Orthodox monk who championed the rights of native peoples and cared for the environment in Alaska.

Since his canonization in 1970, St. Herman has been remembered for his just treatment of native peoples and his respect of the environment. Explaining how it came to be that this simple Russian Orthodox monk eventually settled in Kodiak, Alaska, this account brings to light many primary sources that illuminate the story of St. Herman and the wider context of the little-known history of Russian colonization in the Pacific Northwest. Providing a considerable amount of new information about his life, this book also reveals his fascinating connection to St. Seraphim of Sarov, the most universally recognized saint of the Russian Orthodox Church today.
