A saint and Equal-of-the-Apostles of our own modern times, St. Nikolai personifies the ethos of Orthodox Christian evangelism. Many have heard of his grace-filled and tremendously fruitful mission in Japan, but little has appeared in print until now. Includes about 60 photographs, many never before published. This publication brings together, for the first time, a collection of writings introducing the reader to the culture St. Nikolai encountered in a Japan that was just opening up again to the world around it. Articles from several scholars and believers in japan give new insight into his life and the struggles he faced as he tirelessly fullfilled the call of the Gospel. We see the saint mirrored in his diaries as well as in the lives of his disciples who were forever changed by their dicovery of Orthodox Christianity through his mission.

Brigid was a young and lively girl, often scolded for giving away more than she should to the beggars at her doorstep. From butter, to meat, to her father's sword, she gave when she was asked, her heart breaking for those in need. Eventually, Brigid grew to be abbess of a community of thousands, her love and care earning her a place as one of the two most beloved saints of Irish history and one of the great female saints of all Christendom.The lyrical text and Celtic-inspired illustrations make The Life of Saint Brigid an inspiring story of love and generosity for children of any age, particularly for those who admire the faith and culture of Ancient Ireland.Other Christian Orthodox childrens books:Abbott and I: 9781888212259 Alyosha's Apple: 9781888212082 Baby Moses: 9781888212976 Jonah's Journey to the Deep: 9781888212594The Life of St. Patrick: 9781888212761The Monk Who Grew Prayer: 9781888212662 Moses' Flight From Egypt: 9781888212983

In the bitter conflict over the Holy Land, two generations of families-one Israeli and one Palestinian-fight for their survival and their own piece of the Promised Land. Hardened by life in a Nazi concentration camp, cynical Ellie finds himself in a battle on behalf of the Jewish people, vowing to ensure their suffering will not be in vain. Overseas, Yasif, a Palestinian who left his home country at a young age to study in America, is mysteriously drawn into the struggle by an entity known only as the voice. Underneath the bloody encounters of Ellie, Yasif, and their respective families runs a current of hope and belief in the possibility of a peaceful resolution to the conflict. But the unending cycle of violence and heartbreak threatens to prevent such a resolution-while the possibility of peace exists, so does its explosive alternative.

Of all the stories of the resurrection of the Orthodox Church in formerly communist lands, Albania's may be the most dramatic. Having been almost exterminated by the atheist government, the Church of Albania has arisen, under the leadership of Archbishop Anastasios, to become a vibrant and growing member of the world Orthodox community.Fr. Luke Veronis and his family served as missionaries to Albania during some of the most crucial years of this resurrection. In these pages, Fr. Luke shares stories of those years-stories of desperate poverty and of heroism, of setbacks and triumphs, of heartbreak and miracles-and calls us all to answer the Lord's Great Commission: Go Forth!

Based on his popular blog and Ancient Faith Radio podcast, Orthodixie, Fr. Joseph Huneycutt presents a humorous look at the pluses, minuses, joys, pitfalls, and struggles of perpetual conversion within an Orthodox Christian worldview. Within these pages you'll find all those familiar characters you've encountered in exploring American Orthodoxy-but with a hilarious twist: the Orthodox Christian anarchist, the Orthodox white boy, and that incomparable superhero, Ortho-Man. You'll be introduced to the lighter side of fasting, theosis, living a holy life in a secular world, and the struggle to understand those on the other side of the cradle/convert divide. For those days when acquiring the mind of Christ seems impossibly serious and, well, just plain impossible, a quick dip into "We Came, We Saw, We Converted" will restore your sense of humor and help you get up and try again.
