This is the story of a handful of courageous men and their congregations who risked stable occupations, security and the approval of life-long friends to be obedient to God's call.It is also the story of every believer who is searching for the Church. Where Christ is Lord. Where holiness, human responsibility, and the sovereignty of God are preached. Where fellowship is more than a covered-dish supper in the church basement. And where fads and fashions take a backseat to apostolic worship and doctrine.This is a book, for Orthodox Christians, looking for ways to bring new life to their own Churches. It's also a book for those completely dissatisfied--those on their own search. And it's a book for Orthodox Christians, looking for renewal.

Research indicates that, on average, Americans change their religious affiliation at least once during their lives. Journeys of Faith examines the movement between four Christian traditions and what led believers to make a shift. Four prominent converts to Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Evangelicalism and Anglicanism describe their new faith traditions and doctrines and their spiritual journeys into them. Response chapters offer respectful critiques. Contributors include: Wilbur Ellsworth (Eastern Orthodoxy), with a response by Craig Blaising Francis J. Beckwith (Roman Catholicism), with Gregg Allison responding Chris Castaldo (Evangelicalism) and Brad S. Gregory's Catholic response Lyle W. Dorsett (Anglicanism), with a response by Robert A. Peterson. This book provides you with a series of first-hand accounts of thoughtful Christians changing religious affiliation or remaining true to the traditions they have always known and their rationale for those decisions. Gain a wealth of insight into the attractions of each of the represented denominations and an understanding of the current faith migration within the church today.

The Classic Story of a Family's Pilgrimage into the Orthodox Church Veiled in the smoke of incense, the Eastern Orthodox Church has long been an enigma to the Western world. Yet, as Frederica Mathewes-Green discovered, it is a vital, living faith, rich in ritual beauty and steadfast in integrity. Utilizing the framework of the Orthodox calendar, Mathewes-Green chronicles a year in the life of her small Orthodox mission church, eloquently illustrating the joys and blessings an ancient faith can bring to the worshipers of today.

Have you ever had doubts about the religion you were born into? Did you ever ask if you simply had to accept everything you were told, even if it did not make sense to you? If so, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You, in fact, may be about to join the fastest growing group of humans. In this book I describe my journey, from starting to doubt the faith of my family and community, to questioning everything when no proof or evidence was available, to arriving at a belief system that gave me comfort, answered my questions, and helped me raise my children. At the beginning I thought I was all alone and perhaps something was wrong with me. This book is designed to help others who are on a similar journey get to their destinations. I hope you will join me on my discovery trip. "You Are Not Alone" is meant to be inspirational and reassuring for all who have started such a journey of inquiry no matter what stage they are in or what cultural background they come from. This is a book to be translated into many languages as people from many backgrounds tend to ask the same questions and travel the same journey. "A Journey from Orthodoxy to Humanism: We are not alone: has 21 chapters. It starts with a brief description of the Coptic orthodox church and its very long history. The ups and downs of the Coptic Christian population under various rulers (from Greek to Arabian Muslims and Turks). The book then describes the city of Ismailia where the Author grew up and the influence it had on his thinking. Chapter three is most pivotal as it describes the main event that placed the first crack in the mental wall surrounding and imprisoning those who blindly subscribe to whatever faith they happen to be born into. The following chapters then describe the various phases and mental struggles the author went through to arrive at his final chosen faith of Humanism. Table of Contents Chapter 1: Orthodoxy: A description of the most conservative faith I was born into. Chapter 2: Ismailia: My hometown and how it helped shape my thinking. Chapter 3: Nadia and the Beginning of Doubts: The most influential event in my life. Chapter 4: Angry at God: The immediate consequence of events in Chapter Three. Chapter 5: The Sermon: More insult to my faith in Orthodoxy. Chapter 6: The Um-Jano Library: Opening to a wider, more reasonnable world. Chapter 7: Two Muslim Families Closer than Blood Relatives: Muslims are not bad. Chapter 8: The 1967 War and the Concept of Fate: Why do we die when we do? Chapter 9: The Pediatric Oncology Ward: Cancer changed my view of destiny. Chapter 10: The Debates: The direct argument between religiousness and atheism. Chapter 11: Two Mothers; Which one goes to hell? The absurdity of "Heaven" and "Hell.' Chapter 12: The Group and the Mentor: No longer alone. Chapter 13: October 1973: Regaining the pride. Chapter 14: Coming to America: Finding more "like" people. Chapter 15: Damn the Physiology! Learning about the brain. Chapter 16: Chess; lesson learned, and lesson never learned.

The most ancient name for Christianity, Metropolitan Kallistos reminds us, is 'the Way' (cf. Acts 19.23;24.22), and it is precisely as the journey that this word implies that he presents the tradition of Orthodox Christianity, its teachings and its practices. The result is not an abstract presentation of 'Orthodoxy, ' an outside look at, or description of, its dogmatics, rituals, and ascetic disciplines, compared to and contrasted with others, but an invitation to enter into the way, to begin the journey-and to do so always, into eternity-into the mystery of God through the living experience of the Orthodox Church. As Metropolitan Kallistos often points out, just as undertaking a journey into an unfamiliar land or climbing a mountain requires an experienced and knowledgeable guide, so also an experienced and trusted spiritual guide, a mystagogue, is needed for the spiritual journey, to ascend Mount Sinai and encounter the mysterious God in its darkness, and to climb Mount Tabor and behold the mystery of the transfigured Lord, and to be initiated into the mysteries of the Jerusalem above, our Mother, the Church. The Orthodox Way is such a guide, a book that takes the reader into the very mystery of God, and now speaks to us, in a new century and a new edition. New edition with a Foreword by Fr John Behr. About the Author: Metropolitan Kallistos Ware is a renowned writer, lecturer, and churchman. His works have introduced countless people to the life and traditions of the Orthodox Church, and he has left an indelible mark on contemporary Orthodox thought and history.

Raised in Queens, New York by formerly Orthodox Jewish parents, Arnold Bernstein went on his own personal quest for the God he instinctively felt was there. He was ready to accept God in whatever form He chose to reveal Himself-and that form turned out to be Christ. But Bernstein soon perceived discrepancies in the various forms of Protestant belief that surrounded him, and so his quest continued-this time for the true Church. With his Jewish heritage as a foundation, he studied and evaluated, and eventually came to the conclusion that the faith of his forefathers was fully honored and brought to completion only in the Orthodox Christian Church. Surprised by Christ combines an engrossing memoir of one man's life in historic times and situations-from the Six-Day War to the Civil Rights Movement to the Jesus Movement in Berkeley-with a deeply felt examination of the distinctives of Orthodox theology that make the Orthodox Church the true home not only for Christian Jews, but for all who seek to who seek to know God as fully.
