Behind the Darkness

Fr. John Guy Winfrey

Go out into this world and try to see beyond its darkness. Try to look behind the present wickedness and sin which are so prevalent and set up before our eyes.

They bear the potential of being transfigured into radiant images of the Light of Christ, just as we do. They each have the potential of being brought into the divine Body of Christ and changed into Saints.

The Favorite Book of Neo-Pentecostals

Deacon Pavel Serzhantov
