Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of Heaven (St. Innocent)

A heart-warming introduction to the Christian life that was first composed for the Aleut people of Alaska in the early nineteenth century.

Originally published in the Aleut (Eskimo) language in 1833, this book is a simple yet challenging introduction to Christianity from one of the greatest teachers of the Russian Orthodox Church: sainted Russian bishop and missionary Innocent Veniaminov. Timeless and universal, this updated edition—which includes a new section entitled "Points for Reflection" at the end of each chapter—discusses what it means to know God and have a relationship with Jesus. It will appeal to those seeking to understand their own faith more fully. Includes study questions.

About the author: The priest John Veniaminov was Russian born and raised in Siberia. He went on to become Bishop of a massive trans-continental diocese and ultimately the Metropolitan of Moscow, the most senior Bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church. He is most widely known today by the simple title of Saint Innocent of Alaska.
