A Confession

Leo Tolstoy

"Is there any meaning in my life that the inevitable death awaiting me does not destroy?"

This poignant and candid autobiographical work uncovers the inner turmoil of a man struggling with a mid-life existential crisis. At the height of his literary fame and faced with the inevitability of death and the stark realities of existence, Leo Tolstoy found himself searching for answers to the ultimate philosophical questions about the meaning of life. Haunted by questions of mortality, purpose, and faith, A Confession, chronicles his spiritual journey through faith and towards self-discovery.
Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.

Revelation - The Triumph of Christ

John Stott

Study Scripture with John Stott
Readers' reactions to the book of Revelation are remarkably varied. Some Christians are obsessed with it, viewing it as a kind of secret history of the world and seeking the key to decipher it. Other Christians go to the opposite extreme of neglect. They are mystified and even intimidated by the unfamiliar, so they ignore the book or give up reading it in despair.
The truth is that Revelation is a part of God's holy Word, and with a bit of help and sound interpretation it has much to offer to nurture our spiritual lives.
John Stott was one of the world's leading and most-loved Bible teachers and preachers. In this Bible study guide you can explore Scripture under his guidance, enhancing your own in-depth study with insights gained from his years of immersion in God's Word.
