Why It Is Hard for Us to Believe in God

Alexander Vladimirovich Men — priest of the Russian Orthodox Church, theologian, author of books on theology, history of Christianity and other religions, the foundations of Christian doctrine, Orthodox worship. The book "Why It Is Hard for Us to Believe in... God" is a genuine guide for those who seek a path and strengthening in faith, compiled in a "question-answer" format. The text is based on a conversation with Father Alexander at a round table, which is titled "Why Is It Hard for Us to Believe in God?". "Subconsciously, everyone believes," he said. "Subconsciously, each of us senses that there is a profound meaning to existence. Our existence and the existence of the world have a direct connection to this meaning. A rational believer is one who brings this feeling to the level of consciousness." In his books, lectures, and conversations, he sought to speak as simply as possible about the complex, so that within a person, there would emerge a pure unclouded source reflecting the Divine, allowing him to find the presence of the 'higher spiritual Reality' in his life.
