Thou Has Proved Me, O God and Knowest…:The Life of Hieromonk Vasily of Optina

This is a life of one of the three New Martyrs murdered at Optina Hermitage in 1993.  It is a moving brief life of a contemporary struggler, a world class athlete who grew up under Communism but turned from the world and chose the kingdom of heaven. There are many inspiring insights from this saint:

People spend their entire lives straightening up at home, at work, in their gardens, but are careless about their souls. However the soul is more precious than the whole world. One should order oneself internally and come to love God, and nothing can hinder us from loving God.

THE PARTHENOMETOR

Presentation in a brief and concise way the Virgin Mary’s Life: Her early years, the engagement, the Annunciation, the Birth of our Saviour and all those events that took place in Her life afterwards until Her Assumption. Based on the Holy Scripture and the Fathers of Orthodoxy.

PRAYER: The GREAT PRIVILEGE

When man is given the opportunity to get to know the wonderful value of prayer – in relation with some other action which can be in the filed of science, arts, medicine, social and political action – it is not difficult to sacrifice material prosperity in order to enjoy the respite of conversing with God. Prayer is a great privilege which does not come to an end and which infinitelly surpasses the most  worthy achievementsof science, philosophy, art etc. At first the attempts to reach such a privilege may pose a disproportionate difficulty. However, the quest of freedom for prayer may become imperative.

The Hymn of Love

Based on St. Paul’s Hymn of Love in 1 Cor 13.

We don’t yet have The Law of God and the Man.

The devil sure hates this book. We’re deleting hundreds of comments attached to this book each week–and they all seem to have porn links in them.  This is the only book we carry that is being hit this way. 3/28/09

New from Greece, the second of five volumes of Spiritual Counsels by Elder Paisius of Mount Athos. The second volume of Elder Paisios’s Spiritual Counsels Consists of five parts:
The first part refers to the sense of indifference and irresponsibility prevailing in our time. In the second part, the elder kindles the zeal for spiritual work without confining us to a particular struggle. The third part refers to the short occupation of Satan, which will give Christians the opportunity to witness to Christ again. In the fourth part, which addresses divine providence, faith, trust in God and divine assistance, we are guided toward the source from which we can draw the strength to confront any adversity. Lastly, the fifth part focuses on the need for and power heartfelt prayer, a mighty weapon in combating the ever-increasing evil around us.
