The Agony of the Church is a religious studies classic by Nikolaj Velimirovic that was written as a response to the European sense of spiritual loss caused by World War One. The Eastern Church, the Church of the Apostles and the Mother of us all, in this book, speaks to her children in all lands and in all languages, and to us, with an authority and a wisdom and a tenderness all its own. The author and the publishers are doing us a service of the very best kind in issuing it. May God's blessing rest upon it.
