Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk, inspirer of Dostoevsky

This definitive biography explores St. Tikhon’s life and writings to reveal the man himself: sensitive, retiring, fond of children, familiar with the writings of the Western pietists, but above all rooted in the Bible, the Fathers and the Church’s sacramental life. He was the embodiment of the ideal Christian pastor, a source of wholeness and healing for others.
