The work became very popular in the Eastern Orthodox church and remains widely read today, usually during the period of Lent. The work studies the means of ascending to the peak of religious perfection by a sequence of thirty steps, which bring to mind the thirty years of the life of Christ, who is the pinnacle of religious perfection.

This app presents the steps as a series of drawer items. The font size of the text can be changed through the Android menu Settings->Display->Font size. There is also a text-to-speech button for each step.
