John B. Dunlop

“The intention behind this study has been to acquaint English-language readers with the life and teachings of a most remarkable Russian staretz. As far as was possible, I have tried to allow Amvrosy to speak for himself. Readers in the West should become acquainted with that unique current of spirituality represented by Amvrosy.”
