Frederica Mathewes-Green has given us a warm and inviting defense of Orthodox Christianity without being defensive. This wonderful book explains the roots of the Ancient Truths and traditions of the Church in a conversational style to a broad audience of both Believers and those still searching, while avoiding pedantic language which can be off-putting: a great book about the Great Church.

I am simply thrilled that my dear friend Frederica Mathews-Green has written this primer on the Orthodox faith. First of all, she is one of the finest writers living -- as I hope you will see shortly -- and her ability to explain the ancient Christian faith to a generation hungry for more than flimsy rock-and-roll choruses and "relevant" sermons is without parallel. Let me say it here: this book will change lives.
