Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The venerated teachings of the ascetic monk Saint Seraphim of Sarov are here presented in their entirety. Renowned and respected as one of the wisest monks of Russia, Saint Seraphim promoted the monastic discipline within the wider context of the Christian faith. This text encapsulates the beliefs and core teachings of St. Seraphim, including an introduction to his life and achievements and the tenets of his philosophy in faith. Famously ascetic and harsh on himself, Seraphim would often greet others with kindness and gentleness, going so far as to prostrate at their feet. Seraphim for much of his life lived in the rugged, harsh terrain of the Russian countryside and woods; one heinous incident of his life saw thieves beat and seriously wound him, yet during their trial the monk - permanently hunchbacked from the attack - plead to the judge to have mercy on the perpetrators.

Download or read book Giver of Life written by Fr. John W. Oliver and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the Orthodox perspective on who the Holy Spirit is, where the mystery of God comes alive. Delving deep and subtly into Orthodox tradition and theology, The Giver of Life articulates the identity of the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Trinity as well as the role of the Holy Spirit in the salvation of the world. Written with a poetic sensibility, Fr. Oliver begins with Pentecost, an event uniquely celebrated in Orthodoxy as a time when greenery of all kinds is brought into churches. "The splash of green foliage calls to mind not just life, but a special kind of life. It is the life that transcends biological existence and flows from the very Godhead Itself; it is life that's a state of being—immortal, everlasting, changeless. Ferns and flowers fade and die, but souls filled with this ‘life from above' flourish forever." Reflecting on the relationship of the Holy Spirit to the Church, to the world, and to the human person, Giver of Life looks to the impressive biblical and liturgical tradition of Orthodox Christianity. This is a book weighty in content but accessible in tone, not an academic study of the mind, but a lived experience of the heart.

This book was released on 2004-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Michael Jesus (the) Archangel is an angel from heaven as are we all, He teaches. Like He taught King Solomon in the Heavenly School, the acquisition of wisdom is one of the greatest pursuits of humankind. All of us have missions for God on Earth, but some of us fall away from our missions, forgetting them or rejecting them, and one of Michael s missions is to remind us of Jesus Christ s Biblical teaching that "he who believes and is baptized shall be saved; and he who believes not shall be condemned." (Mark 16:16) Michael teaches through his 80+ books and TV show, "Archangel Michael and the United Domains Of Heaven." Saint Michael has come to fulfill the prophecies in the Holy Bible: John 16: 12-14: "But when the Spirit of truth comes He will lead you to the complete truth since He will not be speaking as from Himself but will say only what He has learned; and He will tell you of the things to come. He will glorify Me, since all He tells you will be taken from what is Mine," and Acts 2:17: "In the days to come-it is the Lord Who speaks-I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind. Their sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams." In this sacred book of wisdom inspired by Abba Yahweh God the Father, His Spouse Sophia who is Wisdom personified and the mother of the angels, angelas, devils, and demons, and by Jesus Christ God the Son, and His Girlfriend Mary Magdalene, and by Michael's Girlfriend, the Blessed Virgin Mary Michelle, Michael shares with the human gods and goddesses from his own fund of wisdom also.

Book excerpt: Origen’s On First Principles is a foundational work in the development of Christian thought and doctrine: it is the first attempt in history at a systematic Christian theology. For over a decade it has been out of print with only expensive used copies available; now it is available at an affordable price and in a more accessible format. On First Principles is the most important surviving text written by third-century Church father, Origen. Origen wrote in a time when fundamental doctrines had not yet been fully articulated by the Church, and contributed to the very formation of Christianity. Readers see Origen grappling with the mysteries of salvation and brainstorming how they can be understood. This edition presents G. W. Butterworth’s trusted translation in a new, more readable format, retains the introduction by Henri de Lubac, and includes a new foreword by John C. Cavadini. As St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Doctor of the Church, wrote: “Origen is the stone on which all of us were sharpened.”
