The book "Letters about Spiritual Life" contains the biography of the science of John and the collection of all the letters of the elder preserved in the Valaam monastery in Finland and the spiritual children. This publication is supplemented by new photographs, bibliographic data of contemporaries and not published by the elder’s letters. Schigumen John (Alekseev) was glorified in the faces of the Holy Finland Orthodox Church in November 2018. Schiyigumen John (Alekseev, 1873-1958), a well-known ascetic of faith and piety, spent almost his whole life in the monastery. Since 1921, the rector of the Trifo-Pechensky monastery, from which he was released by his own request in 1931 and returned to Valaam. In 1932-1937 - Rector of the John-Attracial Skit, in which in the spring of 1933 he accepted the Great Schima. The last twenty years of life is the confessor of the Valaam Monastery in Finland. Father John was not a highly educated person. However, in the letters of the elder addressed to different people - both who do not believe and have not yet come to God, and to believers, churching, living spiritual life - the undoubted literary talent, tact, a sense of humor, and most importantly, are visible. Gospel simplicity.
