There is nothing extraordinary or special in this book. All that it contains are simple reflections of a simple country priest who prays the Sacred scriptures whose life is enriched by the people he serves and his own personal experience becomes an instrument of God's presence in his life. Nothing extraordinary or special or provoking in this book except the only desire to share one’s thirst and consuming desire to give one’s all to God who loves him immensely and tenderly. That in all things God may be glorified.

The works of the great iconographer, Fr Gregory Kroug (1909-1969), speak directly to the hearts of those who look at them in prayer, revealing the way towards "theosis" -- deification through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, by which our human nature is glorified and perfected.

This book tells a true story of a young woman trying to get through a tragic event that rocked the very foundation of her family. Her youngest son was involved in an explosion that almost took his life. Her journey is one of sadness and dismay that is accompanied by the sting of past events. This mother recounts sexual abuse and heartbreak in this compelling story. God was surely dealing with not only that brave young man that was tragically injured, but also with his doting mother who had to learn to cope with the fact that her life, from that point on, was really just beginning. This story also gives courage as we see how a little boy overcomes the horrible treatment rituals that would bruise his soul in every way had it not been for God stepping in to save his life. The goal in this story is to tug the hearts of every reader but to also give hope to readers who have encountered and are overcoming tragic obstacles. This gives hope and faith that God is in charge of every situation and can fix anything that comes our way. He is showing us every day that there is no limit to what God can do. We are also showed that God is a very present help in times of need.

This fourth collection by Sebastian Brock focuses on three areas: the christology of the Church of the East, with the argument that the traditional characterisation of this Church as 'Nestorian' is not only unsatisfactory, but also thoroughly misleading; the distinctive phraseology of the invocations to the Holy Spirit in the Syriac liturgical tradition, hearkening back to Jewish roots; and two important early Commentaries on the Liturgy.

GOD, FIRE AND TRUTH “A POETIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE BIBLE ” This is a book about the bible written all in poetry. Each and every book of the Bible is in this book with a few of my own poems not based upon the book that I read to get the major poems about the most important parts of the Bible. If you like the Psalms but find the other parts of the Bible a bit confusing, then this is a book that will help you understand the Bible better. We have a loving, but just God. You wouldn’t let your child run wild in the traffic of the streets would you? Well God sets down rules so that we can be safe and get through this sometimes hard world. He does it because He loves us! I hope this book will give you hours of enjoyment. I know I learned a lot from writing it that I did not know from reading the actual Bible. Nothing can surpass the actual Bible, but for some, you may find this book to be rather fun. The poems were written from reading a small book about the most important parts of each book of the Bible. God bless you, Diann Ross Woodbury
