Summary: Why Study Religion?
Comment: _God's Revelation to the Human Heart_ is the transcript of a lecture that Fr. Seraphim Rose delivered to the students of comparative religion at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1981. It can easily be read in one sitting, and although it is not the most in depth or detailed introduction to Orthodoxy, it is an insightful nonetheless. Fr. Seraphim begins his address with the question, "Why study religion?" The answer to this is to find out the meaning of Reality itself. The nature of this reality is in contrast with mundane reality, all of which eventually passes on in this world. True reality is something that cannot be perceived in a strictly empirical manner, but comes from within and glimpses at eternity. Fr. Seraphim also speaks of the search for religious experience and religious truth. An individual should not look for religious experiences per se because they can be the paths towards spiritual delusion, but rather towards Truth itself. The importance of suffering in Orthodox Christianity is also discussed, giving the well-known example of Alexander Solzhenitsyn (author of the _Gulag Archipelago_) who was persecuted by the Soviets for political dissent. Unlike in many Western countries, Christianity in Russia under communism was directly and brutally persecuted. Fr. Seraphim's conclusion discusses the spiritual rebirth that is happening in Russia today. Finally, the last few pages are the Question and Answer session after Fr. Seraphim's lecture.

Summary: Can't put this book down....
Comment: When I ordered this book, it was because my priest at church was talking about Fr. Seraphim Rose and the value of reading his writings. So I ordered this book out of curiosity and found that it is easy to read, yet so packed with wisdom. I ordered a second book to give as a gift to my brother for Christmas. I think he will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed it.

Summary: Father Seraphim, pray for us!
Comment: This is a good little book put together from a speech given by Father Seraphim. It enlightened me early in my conversion to the Faith, and illumines the patristic understanding of human suffering as unavoidable in this life but ultimately a good thing. Buy the book, it gives courage.
