The abbot of the monastery on Mount Sinai, Saint John, wrote this book 15 centuries ago for the brethren of his monastery. The book essentially became an instruction manual for ascent to Heaven. For this work, Saint John remained in history with the name Climacus.

“The Ladder” – that is, “ladder” – shows how a person is structured, how a spiritual war is constantly going on in his heart and how to win it!

“The Ladder of St. John the Climacus. Thirty steps on the path to God” is a book created based on the TV project of the Spas channel. Boris Korchevnikov and Archpriest Igor Fomin tried to follow the path of St. John and describe this path in the language of modern television journalism. “The Ladder” is always a modern, very lively and very energetic book. And in any era, this is a book of revelation.
