On Acquisition of the Holy Spirit

*** READ THE KINDLE VERSION *** READ THE KINDLE VERSION *** READ THE KINDLE VERSION *** READ THE KINDLE VERSION ***My initial intention was to give ONE star only. However, one star means "I hate it", which is not true: I love this conversation of St Seraphim with Motovilof and I purchased the Kindle edition (which has a strange cover, one of a marriage - see photo), which contains the conversation in its entirety. Having seen that it is the complete work of Motovilof, I purchased four copies of the printed version, and, to my surprise, only the first part of it was contained in the booklet. This is quite frustrating and I'm returning the product. The same had happenned with another edition of the same booklet (second photo).I understand that being a follower of the papal "church" is difficult to publish a book which shows that the truth lies in the Orthodox, one, holy, catholic and apostolic church of the saints.READ THE KINDLE VERSION, IT CONTAINS THE WHOLE REVELATION OF GOD THROUGH SAINT SERAPHIM TO MOTOVILOV THAT THURSDAY MORNING, AND THROUGH HIM TO US ALL.

Very good book indeed about discussion of St. Seraphim of Sarov with Motovilov. Unfortunately second part of this discussion is missing. Looks to me like some people publishing and translating this book into English did not want to hear other people what Saint Seraphim said that ONLY orthodox christians could having Grace of Holy Spirit and that "Lord equally listens to monk as to the lay man under condition that they both are orthodox (christians)" - from Russian original text.

A good read...very thought-provoking.Will recommend. Makes one think about our spiritual connection with God through our thoughts and everyday actions and approach to living.

5 stars because it is an easy read full of actionI hope it helps others understand what be I g filled with the Spirit as a Christian can mean

Fascinating and important spiritual classic, giving insight into Russian Orthodox views on the action of the Holy Spirit. At this price, everyone should own it!

Excellent. Thank you!

A relation of a spiritual revelation from an elder (saint) to a spiritual child. Relevant to anyone on orthodox Christian journey. Beautiful to read.

This book was so good I advised all my friends to get one. It is simple and profound at the same time. I will revisit it many times
