A Pure Mirror Turned to Face the Sun
Both carefully researched and engaging, this small book invites the reader into the story of a remarkable fourth-century Cappadocian woman, St. Macrina the Younger, who met challenges that may seem familiar today. Surrounded by polarizing political conflict, in an empire divided by growing disparities between rich and poor, Macrina lived through earthquakes and disastrous droughts. She saw people displaced by war and severe weather, pushed into the ranks of the hungry and houseless. She suffered breast cancer and lost loved ones in tragic, unexpected deaths. Her response was nothing less audacious, fascinating, and inspiring than a commitment to know, reveal, and reflect God in her actions, ...
The Speed of Soul
Reclaim a Life of Purpose and Peace In today's fast-paced world, many of us feel stretched thin, overwhelmed by "too much," or find ourselves longing for a more grounded life. We wonder if it is possible to slow down and live more purposefully when life is so demanding, busy, and stressful.

Theological Studies
Saint Nektarios' Theological work is deeply rooted in the biblical and patristic tradition. The purpose of his theological writing was two-fold: to fill in the lack of Orthodox Christian theological literature and make it more widely available, and to enlighten and teach all the faithful members of the Orthodox Church. With this in mind, he composed his theological works with a high level of academic rigour, all the while keeping them accessible to a wider readership, true to the saint's pastoral heart. In Part One, we collect two lengthy treatises--the first being about the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, and the second about Holy Tradition--with a shorter treatise about the Chur...

Humility in the Writings of Charles Wesley and the Early Church Fathers/Mothers
Humility is a central focus of the early church fathers/mothers. Similarly, it is at the heart of Charles Wesley’s thought expressed in his poetry, sermons, and journal. For Wesley, humility plays an active role in the process of salvation. “It can but lead to faith,” he says. For the fathers/mothers of the early church, salvation void of humility is unthinkable. For Wesley the words “humble” and “humility” pervade almost every aspect of Christian character, personality, and experience. A careful examination of Wesley’s writings reveals congruences with and a close relationship to the thought of the early church fathers and mothers on the subject of humility. Throughout this ...

The Anacreontic Poems
Sophronius (Death 638AD - March 11) was the Patriarch of Jerusalem from 634 until his death. He is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches. Before rising to the primacy of the see of Jerusalem, he was a monk and theologian who was the chief protagonist for orthodox teaching in the doctrinal controversy on the essential nature of Jesus. The saint is most famous for his writing of the Life of St Mary of Egypt. The saints works have been stored and secured in the private library of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. It will be the first time these works are published in English and although the Greek was published hundreds of years ago, it is only available in rare collections not accessible by the public.
