Well written and engaging
Posted by Dimitri Ledkovsky on 5th Aug 2018
The impression that this collection of stories leaves is that monks and monasticism are not as remote as we imagine. It's about people like you and me carving out their spiritual understanding of existence from seeming everyday chaos. The author takes you through her personal experiences with aspects of life that can only be described as miraculous. This is as entertaining as it is uplifting. You don't have to be a believer to partake of the uncanniness of the events she depicts.
In this tome you get an alternate version of the story of a monk named Augustine. An almost identical plot line for the story appears in "Everyday Saints and Other Stories". How did that happen? Or is this just another ordinary wonder?

Ordinary Wonders is Wonderful
Posted by Leo Lazaris on 9th Apr 2018
If you enjoyed Everyday Saints, the collection of stories put together by Archimandrite Tikhon which came out several years ago, you will love Ordinary Wonders: Stories of unexpected grace. The author Olesia Nikolaeva weaves together stories in a similar style mostly from her own experiences of people and events to show how God's invisible hand was present in all of them. I was eagerly anticipating a follow-up book for years and now we have it.
