Through lively conversations and stories, the authors of books talk about the foundations of the Orthodox faith, discover its beauty and essence.

Ganago Zoya Nikolaevna Antipovich said about the new books and her teacher Boris Aleksandrovich: “Meetings with the Orthodox writer Boris Alexandrovich Ganago became the beginning of a large path.

An amazingly simple, accessible language, using real stories from life, Boris Alexandrovich conveyed to us the basics of the Orthodox faith. The writer's books were the most readable and in demand on the entire Orthodox post -Soviet space. A few years later, we began to work together. I happened to get acquainted with the unpublished and incomplete works of Boris Alexandrovich.

He wrote the work “Task from above” for more than twenty years. He collected materials for him from the very beginning of his pedagogical activity, at first at the Sunday school of the metropolitan Svyato-Dukhov of the Cathedral, then in the Minsk school of catechists. All papers were collected in three large cardboard boxes. These are pages printed on a printing machine, publications in magazines and newspapers, manuscripts, illegible notes on the scraps of paper.

All this required decryption, processing and systematization. Boris Alexandrovich invited me to delve into these works and add my developments using my experience of the teacher and school principal. For eight years we continued to write this work together. His wife, Lyubov Ivanovna, was our assistant, and Boris Alexandrovich called her affectionately “Censor”. Lyubov Ivanovna left us, and Boris Alexandrovich soon also fell ill.

For almost four years he was chained to bed, but we managed to jointly release several more books a year: “The radiance of eternity”, “I will grow quickly”, “to heavenly treasures”. At the same time, we continued to work on his main difficulty “Testing above”. All new materials and additions accumulated. And finally, the first three books of the series have been prepared today. A lot of materials are still waiting for editing and publication, and I pray to God to give me the strength to complete this work.
