NEW BOOK: GOD IS WONDERFUL IN HIS SAINTS: BOOK OF AKATHISTS

Pravoslavie.ru – 15/12/16

A new book of Akathists, God is Wonderful in His Saints is now available from Three Hierarchs Church in Wenatchee, WA.

God is Wonderful in His Saints is a beautiful, hard cover, sewn-bound compilation uniquely comprised of Thirty Akathist Hymns to many of the most beloved Saints of the Orthodox Church (see list below), male and female, from east and west, both ancient and more recent. Many are being published for the first time and have been kindly contributed by various contemporary authors and translators, including Reader Isaac Lambertsen.

Each Hymn is preceded by an Icon and brief Life of the Saint meant to enhance one’s experience of prayer and devotion. Since the style of the Akathist itself presents many elements of the Saint’s sanctified personality and spiritual exploits, each is like a vivid icon or mosaic, in word, praise, and prayer. We have also included instructions on how to pray an Akathist for personal devotion.

This book of prayer is especially dedicated to all missionary priests and their devoted flocks, who labor and sacrifice to plant the seeds of the true faith throughout North America and other English-speaking regions.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will be contributed to the building fund of Three Hierarchs Orthodox Church in Wenatchee, WA. This Book of Akathists has been blessed for use in personal devotion and prayer by His Eminence Metropolitan JOSEPH of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.

Akathists to the following Saints are included:

• Andrew, Apostle • Anthony the Great • Athanasius • Barbara, Great Martyr • Catherine, Great Martyr • Chad of Lichfield • Cuthbert of Lindisfarne • David the Prophet & King • Demetrius • Elijah, Holy Prophet • Gregory Palamas • Herman of Alaska • Innocent of Alaska • Ignatius Brianchaninov • Ignatius God-Bearer • James, Apostle and Brother of God • John Chrysostom • John Damascene • Joseph, the Betrothed • Lawrence of Rome • Luke the Surgeon • Nicholas of Myra • Olga, Matushka Michael • Peter and Paul, Apostles • Paisios the Athonite • Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia • Sava of Serbia • Stephen, Archdeacon and Protomartyr • Silouan the Athonite • Three Hierarchs
