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.

Ascending the Heights:

In the sixth century, a monk named John wrote a book outlining the stages of the spiritual life. He based his entire work on the image of a ladder of thirty rungs, stretching from earth to heaven. Each rung described a step in the pursuit of virtue and the spiritual life. Since it was first written, The Ladder of Divine Ascent has been an essential part of the formation of Orthodox monastics, and a mainstay of Orthodox ascetic spirituality. But it is not just for monks and nuns.This book is written to help those in a non-monastic setting understand how to apply The Ladder of Divine Ascent to their lives. Each chapter contains many direct quotes from St. John?s writings, in addition to commentary on St. John?s words. This book, therefore, should be used as a primer to the Ladder - as a helpful tool for ascending the spiritual heights.
