An excellent introduction to the Church Fathers for children (ages 12+). Includes a brief biography of 18 famous saints, with short excerpts from the writings of each saint. Includes an iconographic line image of each saint. Great for copywork and discussions!
Aimed at upper elementary grades and even adults, this is the story of a young girl in present-day Moscow--Seraphima--who teaches her father, a priest, to set aside his fear and grief in order to serve Christ present in the poor. The central theme is the dignity of the human person created in the image of God. In the words of the author, "At last, Fr. Nikolai understood that his daughter had shown him another sort of icon. Serafima's icons were written not in egg tempera, but in flesh and blood. In the poor of Moscow, she saw the face of Christ Himself."
How does a child meet the daily decisions in life, pleasing God, church and family? Iakovina handles these questions with clarity, compassion, sensitivity and biblical wisdom to show that God is our ever-present source of help. Here is a book that will be an unusual help to parents who struggle to teach children to live a holy life in an unholy world, to teachers in coping with imparting precious teachings during a sensitive but impressionable time of growing up. This splendidly illustrated book is aimed at 7-12 year old reading levels, but is also designed to be read to younger children and enjoyed and discussed by older children. Illustrated.
What is an Icon? What do icons show us? How do we venerate an icon? Young children find the answers to these questions and then join Maria to explore the different places where icons are found. Brightly colored drawings. Recommended ages: 1-6.
The greatest summary of our Orthodox Christian faith is made understandable to young people of the upper elementary and junior high level. Using stories, the author simplifies the truths of the Creed and makes them relevant to the lives of young people in today's world. Attractively printed in two colors, it is designed to instruct young people in the basic truths of our Orthodox faith as expressed in the Nicene Creed. A study guide on each verse of the Creed is included with questions and discussion starters. 7" x 10". 112 pages. A wonderful and enlightening resource!
