SALT OF THE EARTH is the heartwarming biography of Hieromonk Isidore (1814–1908), the great Elder of Gethsemane Hermitage in Russia.
In SALT OF THE EARTH, both the life and personality of Elder Isidore have been captured with remarkable clarity by the Elder’s spiritual son, New Martyr Paul Florensky (†1937). He takes the reader directly into Fr. Isidore’s world, so that by the time the book is finished, the Elder is already a dear friend.
Radiant with Christ-like love and childlike simplicity, Elder Isidore lived in another world, yet kept both feet firmly planted on the ground. He was one of those whom Christ called the salt of the earth (Matt. 5:13)—a repository of the rare otherworldly savor of ancient Christianity.
“One glance of his could destroy all human conventions, because he was above the world and enjoyed the highest spiritual freedom. It seemed as if he didn’t walk upon the earth, but was rather suspended by invisible threads to some other land. All of this filled him with an inner lightness. All those who came to him heavily burdened would lose their heaviness. With a light smile, as if playing, he could, with impunity, turn any human conditions of common life into joy.”
—excerpt from SALT OF THE EARTH
This revised second edition contains additional material on the Elder by Metropolitan Benjamin (Fedchenkov).
*Paperback 176 pp.

Study and Attractive, but limited space.
Size: Large, Color: 3-ostrich Purple
I've owned it since Sept 2025 and used it about three times. The Pros are that it's a really rigid purse, like luggage. It doesn't collapse, which probably means it can handle a roughing up. (I'm not hard on my purses.) Another pro is that it's VERY attractive. I got the purple and it was quite elegant.
The cons are that things don't fit into it smoothly. There's a zip pocket in the middle of the purse which is cumbersome. And though it fits a lot, there's a lot of work to configure it.

Great Company and BEAUTIFUL purse
Size: Large, Color: White Floral, Size: Large, Color: White Floral
I wrote the following review. I changed from 2 starts to five stars. The company reached out to me and offered to rectify the problem. I am very IMPRESSED!!! I will say that a stranger thought it was a Dooney and Bourke!!!
"I love this purse and have received many compliments on it. However, one of the pins holding the handles fell out somewhere. I tried to work with Amazon to get a new pin for it, but because I received it in March, they cannot do anything. I will use a paper clip to hold the handle, but obviously it will not look like a purse anyone would want to
purchase. I expected it to last at least through the summer."
