Perhaps more than any other faith, Orthodox Christianity is a religion of readers. A favorite saying of Father Andrew is that "a good Orthodox Christian is always in the middle of a book." Reading material is also an indispensable part of the catechetical process, so some of the titles are used in our catechism and inquirer's classes. Many of the books below are available from the following retailers:
The church's bookstore and lending library stock many of these titles for purchase and use by catechumens, inquirers, and parishoners. Please feel free to ask if any are available:
