New Times

Creativity is a unique gift from God. It is the ability to see and feel life in each person’s own way and always differently.

A writer, whether a poet or a prose writer, opens the door to the world around us so that each reader can look at it through the eyes of another person. It is a pity that not all people can appreciate this gift. It is doubly pleasant when a writer finds inspiration in prayerful contemplation of God. As A.S. Pushkin wrote, “O Muse, be obedient to the command of God.” After all, it is at such moments that lines are born that not only delight the reader with beauty, but also carry his soul towards God.

Here is the almanac “Times”, prepared by the Russian Library of Sacramento. This is a collection of works by various authors of our time, who have become famous in Christian circles and beyond. I am sure that you will have an interesting conversation.
