Education

Walking in Wonder blends patristic Orthodox teaching with practical suggestions for parents, resulting in a book that is not only inspirational but full of common sense. Elizabeth White draws from her extensive experience as an educator, parent and faithful Orthodox Christian, to outline not only what the virtues are, but the "how to's" of encouraging the development of those virtues in children. Each chapter ends with a list of practical ideas any parent might try to help cultivate character qualities such as attentiveness and silence. This small jewel could well be called "the Holy Fathers applied to parenting". This workbook will help parents, teachers, and all caregivers provide and environment that helps develop Orthodox attitudes toward self, others, the world and Christ. Written with children under the age of eight in mind.

A way of thinking about education in the Church from the perspective of the art, theology, and liturgical and devotional use of icons. Through ?iconic catechesis? each person is nurtured to grow into the likeness of God. With color plates.

Fr. Michael Keiser walks us through the Orthodox Church’s timeless teachings and practices on the ancient understanding of Christian spirituality with humor and keen insight. He outlines how ascetic practices, personal and corporate worship, confession and repentance, overcoming the passions, and opening ourselves up to God’s grace can lead us to transformation, and to our ultimate destiny—Jerusalem, the heavenly city.

Surprised by Christ combines an engrossing memoir of one man's life in historic situations—from the Six-Day War to the Jesus Movement in Berkeley-—with a deeply felt examination of the distinctives of Orthodox theology that make the Orthodox Church the true home not only for Christian Jews, but for all who seek to know God as fully as He may be known.

Holy Saturday is the Sabbath—the Day of Rest to which all other Sabbaths point. As Christ rested from the work of creation on the seventh day, now, He rests from His work of re-creation, which He finished on Good Friday, the sixth day. It is also the day on which Christ begins to free Hades captives. Thus it is a day of hushed expectation—solemn, yet already deeply joyful. Little books for little hands. 24 pages each.

“As Moses never failed to heed The helpless in their time of need, O Jesus, grant that I may be As bold and merciful as he.” Using simple verse and colorful, semi-iconographic illustrations that are both sweet and reverent, the series aims to introduce children and their parents to the profound truths revealed in the pages of the Old Testament. Our hope is that the readers will develop a thirst to meet Christ in the Scriptures that so richly reveal Him.
