Books for the Lenten Season Archimandrite Vassilios Papavassiliou

by

Thirty Steps to Heaven

The Ladder of Divine Ascent for All Walks of Life Many laypeople have attempted to read the great spiritual classic, The Ladder of Divine Ascent, but have been frustrated in attempting to apply the lessons of this monastic text to their everyday lives in the world. Archimandrite Vassilios interprets the Ladder for the ordinary Christian without sacrificing any of its beauty and power. Now you too can accept the challenge offered by St. John Climacus to ascend closer to God with each passing day.

Paperback, 250 pages 9781936270897—$18.95

Meditations for Great Lent Reflections on the Triodion

Using hymns from the Triodion and the Scripture readings appointed for the season, Meditations for Great Lent shows us how to make our fast acceptable: to fast not only from food but from sin; to fast with love and humility, as a means to an end and not an end in itself. Keep this gem of a book with you to inspire you for the Fast and to dip into for encouragement as you pursue your Lenten journey.

Paperback, 96 pages 9781936270606—$9.95

Meditations for Holy Week Dying and Rising with Christ

Archimandrite Vassilios brings his liturgical and devotional insights and warm, accessible style to bear on the services of Holy Week, helping the reader enter fully into this most rich and intense period of the Christian year.

Paperback, 134 pages 9781936270880—$12.95

Meditations for Pascha

Reflections on the Pentecostarion Far from being merely a “vacation from fasting,” the Pascha season is a time that, properly understood, can greatly enrich our faith. During the Pascha season, we celebrate and rejoice in our Lord’s Resurrection and we prepare for the great feast of the Holy Spirit descending upon us.

aving risen from sleep, I thank You, O Holy Trinity, because through Your great

goodness and longsuffering You have not been angry with me, an idler and a sinner, nor have You destroyed me in my iniquities. But rather You have shown me Your customary love for mankind and roused me, as I lay in despair, to rise in the morning and to glorify Your might. And now, enlighten the eyes of my mind and open my mouth to meditate on Your words, to understand Your commandments, and to do Your will, to sing to You with confession of heart, and to praise Your all-holy name, of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and to the ages of ages. amen.

but wanted desperately to see Jesus. Since he was unable to move himself, friends carried him to Jesus and lowered him through the rooftop so he could receive healing. When we pray for friends and family we are, in a way, carrying them to Jesus so they can receive healing, and, just like the friends of the paralytic, we receive a blessing because we participated in blessing them.

God wants us to bring not only our friends to Him, but our enemies as well. Matthew 5:44 tells us, “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you,

Creating an Orthodox Home

by Elissa Bjeletich & Caleb Shoemaker How do we as Orthodox parents keep our children in the Church throughout their lives? It all begins with involving them in the life of the Church from birth onward—in the parish and also at home. Blueprints for the Little Church provides practical ideas and encouragement—without judgment—for incorporating the primary practices of Orthodox spirituality into your family life at every stage of its growth and throughout the church year.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS “This is a fantastic resource for Orthodox families! Should be required reading for all new parents and a great refresher course for those with older kids too. The authors offer practical advice laced with quotes from Scripture and the Church Fathers, as well as examples from actual families on how they implement Orthodox practices in the home. It is a very readable book, especially for bleary eyed, tired parents who don’t have much time to read.”

—R. Anderson

“If you are a God-loving parent who is looking for encouragement and advice on how to establish a God-centered home (and whether you’re a newly chrismated Orthodox Christian parent full of questions, a long time Orthodox parent looking for ways to revitalize your faith and your family’s faith, or a Christian parent wondering if you and your kids could even do Orthodoxy), this book is for you!”

Parenting Toward the Kingdom

New!

Orthodox Christian Principles of Child-Rearing

by Dr. Philip Mamalakis The Orthodox Christian tradition is filled with wisdom and guidance about the biblical path of salvation. Yet this guidance remains largely inaccessible to parents and often disconnected from the parenting challenges we face in our homes. Parenting Toward the Kingdom will help you make the connections between the spiritual life as we understand it in the Orthodox Church and the ongoing challenges of raising children. It takes the best child development research and connects it with the timeless truths of our Christian faith to offer you real strategies for navigating the challenges of daily life.

Also available as an ebook

Paperback, 328 pages 9781944967024—$20.95

REVIEW “Parenting Toward the Kingdom is a heartening reminder of our ultimate goal as Orthodox parents. Dr. Mamalakis offers practical solutions on how to respond more and react less to our children by making us aware of their struggles and helping us understand the why’s of their behavior, thus giving us the ability to truly parent them in the right direction-toward the Kingdom of God.”

—Sylvia Leontaritis, Adventures of an Orthodox Mom

Dr. Philip Mamalakis, with his wife Georgia and seven children, lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where he is the Assistant Professor of Pastoral Care at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology.

Dr. Mamalakis directs the field education program and teaches classes on pastoral care, marriage and family, grief, death and dying, and topics related to pastoral counseling. He has a private practice in Newton, Massachusetts, where he works with individuals, couples, and families.

Know the Faith

A Handbook for Orthodox Christians and Inquirers

by Fr. Michael Shanbour

New!

Over the centuries since the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Churches, the two groups have diverged to the point that they often no longer understand each other’s vocabulary, let alone the fundamental concepts on which each faith is built.

Know the Faith is an attempt to present Orthodox Christianity in a way Western Christians can understand, grounding each point in Scripture and patristic theology, with comparisons to what Catholics and Protestants believe.

Whether you are an Orthodox Christian seeking to explain your faith to others or an inquirer into this ancient faith, Know the Faith will help you understand and communicate the Orthodox faith as never before.

Unquenchable Fire

The Traditional Christian Teaching about Hell

by Fr. Lawrence Farley The doctrine of hell as a place of eternal punishment has never been easy for Christians to accept. The temptation to retreat from and reject the Church’s traditional teaching about hell is particularly strong in our current culture, which has demonstrably lost its sense of sin.

Fr. Lawrence Farley examines the Orthodox Church’s teaching on this difficult subject through the lens of Scripture and patristic writings, making the case that the existence of hell does not negate that of a loving and forgiving God.

The Spiritual Words of Matthew the Poor The twentieth-century elder Abba Matta of Egypt, known in the West as Matthew the Poor, is widely regarded as the greatest Egyptian elder since St. Antony the Great. He produced a huge and varied body of work in Arabic, only a little of which has been translated into English. In addition, a great many of his informal talks to monks and visitors were recorded. Abba Matta had a marvelous ability to communicate the deepest spiritual truths in the simplest and most practical language, making them accessible to laypeople as well as monastics.

CUSTOMER REVIEW “Our three toddlers love hearing the book over and over and taking turns kissing the pages. Since we’ve started reading Goodnight Jesus, the littles have made the leap between venerating at church and venerating at home. They go looking for their little icons, kiss them, and place them back on their little shelves before playing again.”

In the Candle’s Glow

by Elizabeth Crispina Johnson, illustrated by Amandine Wanert

The bees do their work. The beekeeper does hers. And little Felicia, with the honesty and faith of a child, takes the fruit of the bee and the beekeeper’s efforts and lights her candle and prays. She prays once, she prays twice, she prays three prayers, then watches the breeze from the window carry her prayers from the candle heavenward.

Shepherding Sam

by Melinda Johnson

Sam’s Aunt Eva says he’s like a tornado—he causes a ruckus everywhere he goes. But Aunt Eva won’t give up on Sam, and neither will Saucer, the monastery’s corgi puppy. Saucer lives at the monastery, but he dreams of herding sheep. With no sheep in his life, Saucer tries to herd everyone else—farm animals, nuns, and especially Sam. Sam doesn’t want to follow anyone, not even a funny puppy. But Saucer knows that if he just keeps trying, he can bring this lonely boy back to the flock.

CUSTOMER REVIEW “I couldn’t be more excited about the fact that this is a chapter book designed for those elementary school students who love to read the big books. At just over 100 pages, it is not too long that it will intimidate second-third graders, but it is still engaging enough to interest children in the fourth and fifth grades.”

Her family has converted to Orthodox Christianity without her, she’s just about to leave home for college, and one of her friends is pregnant. Lydia needs a friend badly— and she finds one in an icon of St. Lydia. Young Lydia pours out her troubles in letters to St. Lydia, who (invisibly to Lydia) answers, guiding her through her time of troubles with deep love and compassion.

When God Made You

by Jane G. Meyer, illustrated by Megan Elizabeth Gilbert When God made Elina, He pulled moonlight from the north, starlight from the south, sunlight from the east, and candlelight from the west.

Every child around the globe is specially made by God with a unique set of virtues, talents, and interests. What beautiful things was God thinking when He made you?

The Hidden Garden

A story of the heart

by Jane G. Meyer, illustrated by Masha Lobastov Within every heart is a hidden garden. We can neglect it until the weeds take over and the flowers wither and die.
