Acquiring the Mind of Christ
Acquiring the Mind of Christ is an easy-to-read collection of essays by our revered abbot, Fr. Sergius, whose wise words, whether in confession or in sermons have been treasured by the monastery community. Contained in this little volume are reflections on the Divine Liturgy as life, prayer, beauty, monasticism, and the outline of a “ten-minute” prayer rule.
The right-reverend, Archimandrite Sergius serves as the 16th Abbot of St. Tikhon’s Monastery. He is a graduate of St. Tikhon’s Seminary, where he currently teaches spiritual formation. Fr. Sergius has traveled extensively for the Monastery and Seminary giving talks and retreats.

In a time when the futility of the never-ending pursuit of material gain is being recognised more widely this work is more relevant then ever.
