"May our love for the Sun, the will of God, be as strong as the
sunflower's, so that even in days of hardship and sorrow we will
continue to sail unerringly along the sea of life, following the
directions of the barometer and compass of God's will that leads us
to the safe haven of eternity." This is a thoroughly practical
manual of the spiritual life focusing on the central goal of every
Christian: learning the will of God and struggling to mold our life
to it, just as Christ "humbled Himself and became obedient." (Phil.
2:8) Even more fundamentally, St John addresses the question of why
we should care about God's will. Finally, the reader will find
eternal wisdom running through these writings on questions of
theodicy, free will, and Divine Providence. This work is
reminiscent of the classic textEUnseen WarfareEin its historical
genesis as an Orthodox redaction of an originally Roman Catholic
text. First published in 1627 asEThe HeliotropiumEit was the work
of a German Jesuit writer Jeremias Drexelius. The future St John
adapted this text for an Orthodox audience as a student and then
teacher at the Kiev Academy in the 1670's but it was not published
until 1714, just a year before the author's death. This is the
first English edition of St John's text, further edited and
abbreviated for the contemporary reader.
