description: In his mission to spread the word of Christ's Truth to the ends of the earth, St. Innocent became a daring adventurer who did not hesitate to risk his own life for the sake of the Alaskan natives and Siberian nomads. From traversing the frigid territory of Siberia by reindeer and dogsled to charging the mighty waves of the Aleutian Islands in a small kayak, the Saint braved the harshest elements in order to enlighten the uttermost regions of Creation. The image reflected in the life of St. Innocent is an icon of inventiveness and courage. He provides the young generation with what it is most desperately lacking--a true hero! Drawing upon his creative impulse, St. Innocent painted a masterpiece of beauty out of his life, which spoke of eternal realms. Thus, through his life's example the Saint provides us with a blueprint of how to build our lives and reveals man's true purpose in this world--to link earth with Heaven. FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN includes the Life and Spiritual Counsels of St. Innocent, together with a beautiful full-color pictorial biography painted in contemporary Russia.
