Battles and Passions: Anger, Hatred, Envy
By Archimandrite Vassilios Bakoyiannis
“An Orthodox Christian approach to overcoming anger, hatred and envy. Many profitable stories and sayings from St Basil the Great, St John Chrysostom, St John of the ladder and other holy Saints. A book worth reading and putting into practice.”
Food & Spirituality
By Archimandrite Vassilios Bakoyiannis
“The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in that day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Gen. 2:16-17). Adam ate and (spiritually) died. “We are what we eat” (L. Feuerbach). Food, what ever it is, affects our spirituality. We will see in this book how this mysterious thing happens.
Great Christian Feasts: History & Theology
By Archimandrite Vassilios Bakoyiannis
“GREAT CHRISTIAN FEASTS History & Theology is not just a timeline on how and when divine events began to be celebrated, but also a revelation of the real theological reasons on why they are remembered on specific dates of the year. Going back in time the reader will meet prophets, ancient philosophers and pagans who directly or indirectly were used as “instruments” of God for His salvation work. Introducing common dates for the Great Feasts of the Lord was a complex task for the Holy Church Fathers and the Ecumenical Counsels. The Feasts include: Christmas, Circumcision, Epiphany, Christ’s Crucifixion, Feasts of the Cross, Resurrection, Mid-Pentecost, Ascension, Pentecost and Holy Trinity.”
Highly Favored One: The Life of Mariam (The Virgin Mary)
By Archimandrite Vassilios Bakoyiannis
“It was a Sunday afternoon when Miriam, being in “the dwelling place of Joseph,” received an unexpected visit from Archangel Gabriel! He said to Her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.” (Luke 1:28)This book is a collection of relevant “information” that our Holy Fathers and hymnographers of our Church, handed down to us, on the Mother of the Lord.”
St John Chrysostom: Holy Communion How and When
By Archimandrite Vassilios Bakoyiannis
“On coming near to communion, we say to ourselves: “Behold, I approach the Divine Communion. O Creator, let me not be burnt by communicating: For Thou art Fire, consuming the unworthy. But, rather, purify me of all impuritiy.”Our book deals with this “holy” issue with Saint John Chrysostom as our guide. May his words help us so that our participation in Holy Communion shall be for “the remission of sins and eternal life.” Amen.”
