John's name to him: The Story of the Swainer John of Shanghai (Veronin Timofei Leonovich)

The book tells about the greatest saint of Russian emigration, St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco Miracle-worker, who was almost our contemporary and died in 1966. The documentary narrative about the holy is intertwined with the fictional story of the life of the girl Oli, the daughter of a beggar of the Russian emigrant. The story is permeated with deep confidence that the saints are near us, they consecrate our lives, help us and lead us to eternity. This story is about the miracle of the presence in our life of holiness, about the encounter of the earth with the eternal, about the striving of the human heart for the incomprehensible joy of the Kingdom of Heaven.
