There is a book written by father Artemy and Vladimir Kupin. This is a very interesting publication, which even unbelievers acquire for their families, children, feeling with their souls that such a life textbook should be in every home.
The format of the book "Open Heart" is large and has many color pictures that are drawn by children. A beautiful font and simple presentation, accessible even to a child.
The publication tells the story of the life of Princess Elizabeth Feodorovna, who left a luxurious life and became a model of mercy, love, care for others, living in a cell.

About love
Father Artemy Vladimirov has many interesting and instructive (very subtle and unobtrusive, but deep) lectures on love, morality, Christian purity.
One of his popular and relevant is “On Love” - to God, the neighbor.
He raises the question of the relationship of faith in the Lord and love for the person who is nearby. After all, the true faith is alive, active, warming everything and everyone in its rays.
Archpriest Artemy Vladimirov says that there is such a trend at present - less and less love manifests itself in modern society, people stopped looking for a source of inspiration in God, but closed their hearts and souls in the shell of egoism. But true love only begins to come to life when a person begins to serve - sincerely and without any self-interest to others.
Another clergyman with chagrin says that the Russian people are trying to copy a lot of things from the West, without realizing the destructiveness of such a path. First of all, it negatively affects morality, spiritual purity, and youth.
