From the Inside Flap
Tolstoy communicates the teachings of Jesus through brilliantly crafted Russian characters and imaginative stories.
The title story, "The Godson," is an intriguing tale of atonement and obedience as a man deciphers what it means to live a Christian life.
"The Devil's Persistent, but God Is Resistant" powerfully demonstrates how God is greater than the Devil, no matter how cleverly he schemes.
The third story, "The Two Old Men," tells of two friends who begin a journey together to the Holy Land. One is detoured by the needs of a starving family, and the other man makes it to Jerusalem.
Exquisite translations of these stories maintain their original Russian folktale flavor while spotlighting Tolstoy's fervent and thoughtful faith. This collection makes a timeless gift for readers of all ages. Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was one of Russia's most celebrated writers and a great moral thinker. Although he is most famous for his two great novels, Western readers today are rediscovering Tolstoy's religious stories and essays.
