The book is dedicated to the great elder of the 19th century, the Monk Ambrose of Optina (1812–1891). Rich material about his life, 30-year old feat, spiritual gifts and instructions to people were collected by Schema-Archimandrite Agapit (Belovidov), who himself began the monastic path in Optina Hermitage. The uniqueness of this biography of St. Ambrose is that it is the life of a shepherd, written by another pastor, the life of an elder, written by another elder.
