Announcements

11/13/2008
This holiday season presents several new offerings - Cappella Romana's excellent holiday release "Kontakion for the Nativity of Christ" follows up on the heels of their critically acclaimed 2-CD English Divine Liturgy set.

We also offer two new crosses to our catalog - a simple relief slavonic style cross with the "Save and Protect" inscription and a slightly more rugged tri-bar cross for daily wear.

We are also pleased to present the Children's Bible Reader - Spanish Edition, which is available now, as well as a number of academic bible study resources including the revised Septuaginta, a critical edition of the Gospel of John according to the Byzantine Tradition and others.

Soon we will release the new Orthodox Military New Testament, designed to be small and portable while also including adequate devotional references for Orthodox Christians who are deployed.

An Englishman in the Court of the Tsar

Set against the turbulent backdrop of the early twentieth century, this fascinating true-life account reads almost like a novel. Demoralized by the encroaching liberalism of the Anglican Church, Englishman Charles Sydney Gibbes travels abroad in a crisis of faith. Finding work as a tutor to the Russian aristocracy, his world is changed forever when he receives a personal invitation from Empress Alexandra Fedorovna to become a tutor to her children. His intimate connection with the Imperial Family for the next ten years carries him into their mesmerizing world of elegance and nobility, then is shattered by their brutal murders at the hands of the Red Army. Following them to Siberia and later continuing on to China, Gibbes eventually returns full circle to Great Britain, there dedicating his life as an Orthodox priest to the memory of the Imperial Family, and the faith he discovered in their distant homeland.
