God's Revelation to the Human Heart

By: Fr. Seraphim Rose

Narrated by: John Van Schaick, Fr. Seraphim Rose

What does man seek in religion, and what should he seek in it? How does God reveal Himself in order to bring man to a knowledge of the Truth? How does suffering help this revelation to occur? These and other questions were discussed by Fr. Seraphim Rose, an Orthodox Christian monk from the mountains of northern California, during a lecture he gave at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1981. The contents of this lecture comprise the present book, which includes Fr. Seraphim’s answers to questions asked by the university students.

Drawing from a variety of sources—the Holy Scriptures, patristic writings, the Lives of both ancient and modern saints, and accounts of persecuted Christians behind the Iron Curtain—Fr. Seraphim goes to the core of all Christian life: the conversion of the heart of man, which causes it to burn with love for Christ and transforms one into a new being. Two-in-One Audiobook: This audiobook includes the entire book narrated by John Van Schaick, plus the latter 80% of the original archival tape recording of Fr. Seraphim’s lecture, with Fr. Seraphim’s own voice (the first 20% of the recording has been lost).

Touched My Heart Deeply

This talk was awesome. I really appreciated both the narrator and Father Seraphim Rose's own narration. I highly recommend this audio and for more people to read more of Father Seraphim's work.

Father Seraphim Rose

All Father Seraphims Sermons,and Lectures are filled with truth. That's what he searched for his whole Life. I've read this Book,and it's in my Library, but it's nice to hear it on Audible as well.

Digestible truth of Christ

Due to the short nature of this book I kept putting it off until I decided why not just read it now. And I wish I read it earlier!

Father Seraphim’s openness, kindness and straightforward honesty.

Excellent restoration that integrates recovered notes with originality delivered audio by Father Seraphim. Good original audio quality.

The wisdom

The original recording was fantastic. Difficult to hear at times but awesome to hear their voices
