Tolstoy's stories are timeless, continuing to have deep resonance with today.

This was a collection of short stories. I enjoyed them all to some extent. Some I really enjoyed. He's a good, inspiring, thought-provoking author. I plan to read more of his.

'Where God Is Love Is' seems to sum up several different (and great) tales in this collection. 'The Story of Ivan the Fool' is wonderful.

My favorite short stories from this collection:
"A Spark Neglected Burns the House"--This ought to be obligatory reading for all mediators.
"The Story of Ivan the Fool"--Excellent reflections for anyone who thinks overly highly of their intellect.
"The Godson"--Tolstoy's contribution to the tradition to nonviolence, which he inherited from H.D. Thoreau, and passed on to Gandhi and later Dr. King.
"How Much Land Does a Man Need"--An important reality check for anyone consumed with ambition.

A nice collection of short stories, mostly religious ones. This collection was produced by a Bruderhof owned publishing house, which makes a ton of sense as that sect shares a lot of Tolstoy's communal, anarchist Christian sympathies.

Some of Tolstoy’s best. Easily digestible messages and truths. One of my favorites.

Beautiful collection of short stories, focusing on Tolstoy's spiritual side. I love these so much. I will always own a copy of this book and reread it often.

I've never known this side of Tolstoy. It's as if Christ hired him to do PR work for the Gospel. Some of it was a bit repetitive, but a good number of the stories were creative. You can feel his faith, his love of the Lord. It was delightful.

There is a reason Tolstoy is still widely read in such a vast array of languages. However, one must admit that his novels can be daunting. This collection of stories is a good introduction to his style, his passions and his humanity. I took my time with this reading a story or a chapter every now and then, usually at night and it was a very favorable experience.
