Alexandre Havard, a Frenchman of Russian ancestry, chronicles his moral, intellectual and spiritual development growing up in post-1968 France. He rejects the radical secular values of his contemporaries and embraces Christianity. At the same time, Havard traces his roots back to Russia and follows cultural and political developments in the final years of the Soviet Union. He prays that someday he will be able to contribute to the spiritual revival of his beloved ancestral homeland. In the end, his prayer is granted in dramatic ways - proving Pope Benedict XVI's statement that God acts not only in the spiritual domain but also in the material world. My Russian Way is packed with compelling characters and fascinating vignettes. The book is at once spiritually uplifting and a fun read. My Russian Way will change your view of Russia for good and light the way for the reader's own spiritual journey.

This book is a dialogue between the reader and Joan of Arc, the woman Mark Twain called “easily and by far the most extraordinary person the human race has ever produced.” As we explore her virtue-infused life, this astonishingly modern woman takes us by the hand, coaches us, whispers wise advice in our ear. Far from being anachronistic, her way of life and virtuous example is eternally new, for she follows precepts that are above human weakness. Joan is for all of us – men and women of today, living and working in the midst of the world. She is for us all a coach, a mother, and an excellent teacher of the elevated, virtuous, and courageous life.
