“[...]Feofil is still very much an active starets. He does not limit himself to singing in the Church Triumphant; he is also a trusted intercessor and teacher for the Church Militant. Aside from the rich spiritual joys presented in this biography of Starets Feofil, the book offers some rare and valuable insights into the personality of Tsar Nikolai Pavlovich and the saintly Metropolitan Filaret of Kiev. Moreover, the mentality of Old Russia is reflected on every page. In fact, no student of Russian history or culture can claim even a superficial knowledge of his subject unless he has studied the lives of the great saints and ascetics of the Russian Orthodox Church, for the lives and minds of the Russian people have always been welded to the blessed refuge of the Church.”
