The Little Way of a Pilgrim

illustrated by Diana-Elena Popescu • Afterword by Dr. Albert Rossi

For Helen... true friend, helping to light my path. And with gratitude to the brilliant editorial team at Ancient Faith Kids, illuminating the world one word at a time. —JAR To my spiritual father, Father Arsenie. Without his prayers I would have been utterly lost. He has truly been a lifeboat in my journey, and this story suits him wonderfully.
