Confession: A Series of Lectures on the Mystery of Repentance

by Anthony Khrapovitsky, Christopher Birchall (Translation)

This is a classic work of pastoral theology, now in its second printing. Whilst primarily a manual for priests, it will also be of great value to all who strive to understand how to make a good confession. It covers the significance of confession for Christians, the spiritual director's disposition, healing, doubt, sin, fear, despondency, pride, money, envy, chastity, etc. The appendices include extracts form the Order of Confession, a "template" for a brief confession and questions for an examination of conscience.

Reviews

[Obie Rouse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Written for priests, but some useful insights on confession and what to consider while giving confession.

[Isaac Crabtree · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a beautiful and challenging book filled with practical patristic guidance on the living of the Christian life and the revealing of one's sins to a spiritual father for forgiveness and growth in Christ. I really hope this stays in print and becomes more widely known amongst English speaking Orthodox.
