This cross bracelet is great looks just like the picture description and fits nice ! I would recommend any orthodox Christian to purchase this wonderful bracelet.

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my daughter from our parish bookstore. My daughter is 8, so my wife and I kept up with her as she read it, asking her what she thought about the story. She loved it! The story hooked her right from the beginning. She couldn't stop talking about the main character Euphrosyne and her spiritual father, Fr. Innocent. After finishing the book, she said that reading it made her want to stand up for Jesus as well! It's a great book!

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon is a brilliant writer. He quickly expounds the meaning and context of the psalms, while avoiding the wordiness that often muddles such works. I'd recommend this to any Orthodox Christian, or any other Christian, who wants to gain a deeper understanding of the psalms' meaning.

This series helps tremendously in understanding the Western man’s disconnect between the sacramental life and and his individual struggle to know God and save himself through reason alone.

Love this book! You can read the Gospel with a lovely life-engaging commentary. The only issue is that the kindle version doesn't give the verses. These are contained in the header of each page. It is very complete in the print version, but the header didn't cross over to kindle so it is clunky to use. What I do is look up the verse in the Bible. Then find a phrase to search for in the kindle edition.

Very nice

Very nice! Quality is good.

In coming to Orthodoxy, one might struggle with how to appreciate creation's innate goodness properly. There was a recent episode of Lord of Spirits, God is So Good, where they spend a couple hours just trying to answer the question "what do we mean God is good?". Or as many a philosophy professor has put it, "what is good?". This book however, while not bad, is mostly a very soft intro to a much deeper topic. When reading something like the Philokalia, or the Ladder, monastic literature can often leave one with the impression that physical creation is somehow in the way of spiritual growth, instead of part of it. Phillips book pushes back against that thinking, just a little softly.

I was happy to see this book come out because this is such an important, ongoing topic of discussion in Orthodoxy – but even those of us who are longtime converts from evangelicalism may not always have succinct answers to questions like those discussed in the book!

As others have mentioned, this book fits a lot of helpful info into a short space, which is a draw for those of us with busy lives. Despite its brevity, it still provides in-depth theological explanation rooted in church history. Father Farley did a skillful job of organizing the main ways in which evangelicals differ from Orthodox in theology and traces the ways in which those differences arose. As a former evangelical, it even helped me better understand what was going on theologically in the non-denominational churches I attended and why I often received conflicting answers to questions I had as an evangelical about evangelicalism itself.

As someone who did convert to Orthodoxy, and who did my homework to understand the theological “strangeness” of Orthodoxy, this book provides such a concise summary that I wish I would have had it back then. It will be very useful to anyone who is trying to understand or explain the differences between evangelicalism and Orthodoxy, including those of us who, even 25 years later, may still have evangelical family members who remain concerned about our salvation and conversion!

My one note of complaint was the frequent use of the word “cult” in its lesser known definition as devotion to a person or belief, ie, “cult of the martyr.” Most readers, particularly evangelicals, will likely think of heretical or fringe groups when they read “cult,” ie, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Branch Davidians, rather than understand the nuance of its other definitions.

I do recommend this book for anyone who wants to better understand Orthodoxy as well as evangelicalism.

Loved the Icon box, bought one for myself and four for Christmas gifts!

Father’s books are full of wisdom and help to live a better life for both men and women. I have three of his books and hope there are more.

These are lovely cards for offering a comforting word to those grieving a loss.

I especially love the icons by Jan Isham!

We like this calendar, especially kids .

Excellent edition ... easy to follow during the Liturgy.

A great addition to my library….A quality product.

I have a 6 and a 4 year old. These biblical stories are wonderfully written to share with children. Not watered down in content but well-written in an understandable way for kids to see God in Scripture. 10/10 recommend this as a great introduction to a more in-depth understanding of biblical stories.

A fantastic book and I would highly recommend it for both Evangelical and Orthodox Christians.

beautiful artwork

Look beyond the translation to find the essence of a man who selfless acts and devotion to God can only be deemed as saintly.
