My Religion

My Religion was written by Leo Tolstoy because in about the last 25 years of his life he became very interested in Christianity. Tolstoy believed and set about following as best he could understand the philosophical and practical truth and wisdom of the gospel teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, God's Son. Tolstoy in exfoliating religious outgrowth addresses the practicality of what are living teachings as Jesus taught them, with a view to the benefits that the reader can immediately use and implement and utilize to enhance one's spirituality and future development. The critical reception of My Religion in Tolstoy's time was that he was excommunicated from the Russian Orthodox church; and this book in particular was banned in Russia by the Czar. My Religion is a very engaging book to benefit all truth-seekers. This edition has been carefully and lovingly edited by Alan Lewis Silva. In select places the translation has been modified for readability. It also contains a brief editorial supplement.
