Seraphim wrote on many subjects during his lifetime, always striving to bring the traditional wisdom of the Fathers of the Orthodox Church to contemporary seekers.

Schmemann". 64 pp. illustrated, pb HER332 $6.00

From
I-ville to You-ville by Mersine Vigopoulou From I-ville to You-ville,
the well-known, best selling Orthodox Christian children’s book of Greece,
presently in its seventh printing, is now available in English. The unique and
wise counsel of Elder Paisios of the Holy Mountain is presented in a way that is
perfect for children and adults alike. In every turn and twist of this adventure
of a young man making his way from his home of I-ville to the unknown but
longed-for kingdom of You-ville the author masterfully weaves the wisdom of the
elder into the fabric of the story, constructing a seamless garment of beauty,
charm and enlightenment. Be one of the first to read and impart the life-giving
lessons of You-ville to your children!
I-ville - a Kingdom where pride and selfishness dwell, and where people live by the motto “Me first!” You-ville - a Kingdom where humility and kindness have their home, and where people put the good of others before their own.
This is the story of a young boy named Stubborn, as he strives to become the first person of I-ville to make the difficult journey to the beautiful, joy-filled Kingdom of You-ville, and to become a citizen there.
As we join Stubborn in his adventures, we learn, along with him, profound lessons in how to struggle against bad thoughts and feelings. The journey of young Stubborn is one that all of us - old and young - must take, and which all of us can accomplish - if only we shrink our “I” and put “You” first! Hard cover, 120 pp. UMS104 $25.00

The Truth of Our Faith, Volume 2 Discourses from Holy
Scripture on the Christian Mysteries by Elder Cleopa of Romania. The
inner life of the Church, where man becomes “god by grace” (St. Athanasios
the Great) through the reception of the Divine Energies or Grace of God, is
centred on the Holy Mysteries (or Sacraments). In this volume, Elder Cleopa
explains the origins, meaning and purpose of the Holy Mysteries of Baptism,
Chrismation, Holy Communion, Confession, the Priesthood, Marriage, and Holy
Unction, while also deconstructing the errors of those who misunderstand or
reject this life in Christ. Squarely based on Holy Scripture and its
interpretation by the Holy Fathers of every age, Elder Cleopa brings to light
neglected knowledge and rejected counsel stored up for so many centuries in the
Orthodox Church. pb, 136 pp., UMS101 $13.00
Exomologetarion A Manual of Confession by St.
Nikodemos the Hagiorite When one encounters the illumined instructions found in
St. Nikodemos the Hagiorite's Manual of Confession, one feels freed from
both the delusions of this age and one's own blindness to sin. In addition
to the edifying instruction to the Spiritual Father, this book also offers a
meticulous interpretation of the Canon of St. John the Faster, an enlightening
counsel for the penitent on how to confess, and a soul-profiting homily on
repentance. Soft cover, 480 pp., illustrated. UMS102 $33.00
Concerning Frequent Communion of the Immaculate Mysteries
of Christ by St. Nikodemos the Hagiorite. "Whoso eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the
last day. (Jn. 6:54) These words of our Lord Jesus Christ have been, since
the moment they were spoken, a "scandal" and stumbling block, and a
point of departure for all who could not see in them "words of eternal
life" (Jn. 6:58). In this book one will find answers, combed from the
entire patristic tradition, to such questions as: How should I approach
the Holy Mysteries? What preparation is necessary? How often should
I commune? And what does it mean to be "worthy" of Holy Communion?
Based upon and gathered from the teachings of the Holy Fathers of the Church,
this book includes a thorough explanation of the Lord's Prayer, an apology for
frequent communion, answers to objections and clarifications of misconceptions,
a history of the book's compilation and two appendices on the Divine Eucharist
from other works of Saint Nikodemos. pb., 241 pp., UMS103 $20.00
