We Shall See Him as He Is

“Now at the close of my life I have decided to talk to my brethren of things I would not have ventured to utter earlier, counting it unseemly….” Thus wrote Archimandrite Sophrony, then ninety-two years old, in We Shall See Him as He Is, his spiritual autobiography.

This book is an exposition of the personal spiritual experience of Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov; 1896-1993) – a renowned spiritual writer and ascetic of our time. This spiritual autobiography is an outstanding example of non-abstract theology and experiential knowledge of Divine reality in life itself. The genuine sincerity of the author puts a seal of authenticity on each of his words, placing the reader before the Truth of Being as an indisputable fact.
