Description: This large-print edition of Thirty Steps to Heaven includes an industry standard 16pt font on bright white paper. This edition is ideal for the visually impaired, late-night readers, or anyone who prefers reading larger type. Many laypeople have attempted to read the great spiritual classic, The Ladder of Divine Ascent, but have been frustrated in attempting to apply the lessons of this monastic text to their everyday lives in the world. In Thirty Steps, Archimandrite Vassilios interprets the Ladder for the ordinary Christian without sacrificing any of its beauty and power. Now you too can accept the challenge offered by St. John Climacus to ascend closer to God with each passing day.
