Book: Ascetic Discourses of Abba Isaiah The illuminating introduction to the translation of these twenty-nine monastic discourses written in the mid-fifth century explores scholarly issues . . . this volume is a model for showing how to make a book user-friendly . . . Until this translation appeared, we had only a bit of Abba Isaiah in English (in the translation of the Philokalia), so this work is a welcome addition, made all the more welcome because of the readable translation and useful apparatus.

Book: Being Bread The kind of book Orthodox Christians long for who want uplifiting devotional reading for today....filled with stories grounded in an Orthodox understanding of what life fully lived in Christ looks like. By offering us twenty-five morsels of being bread, Dr. Muse teaches us how to become bread, to be fully human in Christ. You can read the book fairly quickly for the delightful collection of stories it is, or you can stop and chew each one slowly...I recommend the book that way. It's much better the second time.

Here is a book rich with insight into being able to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, the sacramental and therefore relational nature of everyone and everything -- and the consequences of this vision for how we ought to live as believers.
