New Book: A Trace in the Sand: A Tale of the Early Martyrs (ON BACKORDER)

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:35:37 GMT

It is A.D. 274. Emperor Lucius Domitius Aurelianus has reunited the Roman Empire and now reigns over the land and sea of half of the inhabited world. Roman citizens and barbarians alike quake before the soldier-emperor who styles himself a living god. Little does Emperor Aurelianus know that a humble slave, a captive German, and the son of a Roman senator are all about to become Christians and that pagan society is soon to be shaken to its foundations.

Senator Poplius\' son, Alexamenos, has everything: wealth, power, and health. Nevertheless, he is dissatisfied with the world and everything in it. Life has become pointless, with the futility of death everstanding before him. So it is, until the day a young slave boy saves his life, and Alexamenos finally meets someone nobler and braver than himself: a Christian.

A Trace in the Sand is a novel for young people inspired by the "Palatine Crucifix," an archeological find from third-century Rome. It is a collaborative work by Orthodox Christians in Greece, where it has gone through seven editions and has become a beloved classic of spiritual literature.

New Book: From I-ville to You-ville

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:19:28 GMT

From I-ville to You-ville, the well-known, best selling Orthodox Christian children’s book of Greece, presently in its seventh printing, is now available in English. The unique and wise counsel of Elder Paisios of the Holy Mountain is presented in a way that is perfect for children and adults alike. In every turn and twist of this adventure of a young man making his way from his home of I-ville to the unknown, but longed-for, kingdom of You-ville the author masterfully weaves the wisdom of the elder into the fabric of the story, constructing a seamless garment of beauty, charm and enlightenment. Be one of the first to read and impart the life-giving lessons of You-ville to your children! I-ville - a Kingdom where pride and selfishness dwell, and where people live by the motto “Me first!” You-ville - a Kingdom where humility and kindness have their home, and where people put the good of others before their own. This is the story of a young boy named Stubborn, as he strives to become the first person of I-ville to make the difficult journey to the beautiful, joy-filled Kingdom of You-ville, and to become a citizen there. As we join Stubborn in his adventures, we learn, along with him, profound lessons in how to struggle against bad thoughts and feelings. The journey of young Stubborn is one that all of us - old and young - must take, and which all of us can accomplish - if only we shrink our “I” and put “You” first! Hardcover. Includes color illustrations.

New Book: St. Nicholas Gold Foil Chocolate Coins - Sampler

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 05:25:59 GMT

An important part of any St. Nicholas Day celebration, gold foil chocolate coins are traditionally included in the St. Nicholas stocking. They commemorate Saint Nicholas saving three poor peasant daughters from a life of sin and despair, when he threw gold coins in their window for their marriage dowries. The coins are traditionally believed to have landed into their stockings/shoes close to the fireplace--why we hang Christmas stockings on the fireplace today.

Tastefully packaged in a cellophane bag tied with ribbon, our gold-foil coins include a lovely label with a hymn from the church.

A nice St. Nicholas Day tradition for your family and/or parish.

Also a lovely stocking stuffer or part of a gift package for teachers, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and those serving in our military overseas.

Includes eight of each flavor: milk, dark mint, and dark chocolate.

Quote by St. Anthony the Great (4th century) on striving for virtue using Zaner Bloser Cursive:

Be full of goodness, free from envy, devout, self-restrained, gentle, as generous as possible, kindly, and peaceable. For to conform to God through such qualities, and not to judge anyone or to say that he is wicked and has sinned, is to render the soul inviolate.
