THE BLESSED SURGEON: THE LIFE OF SAINT LUKE OF SIMFEROPOL - $14.95
World-famous pioneering surgeon, tortured confessor, archbishop and miracle-worker--St. Luke is one of the most intriguing saints who suffered under the Soviets.

THE LIFE OF OUR HOLY FATHER MAXIMUS THE CONFESSOR - $9
Saint Maximus the Confessor, 7th century abbot, confessor, and martyr, was the author of profound spiritual treatises, a number of which are contained in the Philokalia.

PEARL OF GREAT PRICE: THE LIFE OF MOTHER MARIA SKOBTSOVA -$9.95
Pearl of Great Price is the moving story of Mother Maria Skobtsova, a nun of the Orthodox Church, who was born into a Russian aristocratic home but who died a martyr's death in one of Hitler's concentration camps. In the intervening years, the vicissitudes of life led her through two marriages, childbirth and childrearing, and exile from her homeland-until she became an unconventional nun, devoted to the service of the destitute and the despairing in Nazi-occupied France during WWII. | Up
ST SERAPHIM OF SAROV: A SPIRITUAL BIOGRAPHY - $19.95
This epic biography represents a major portion of the life's work of this renowned Orthodox scholar. Archimandrite Lazarus spent over 20 years working on this book and produced the definitive life of Saint Seraphim, containing the most compelling biography of the great Saint and Wonderworker of Sarov yet published in any language. It is as though Saint Seraphim himself confided in him. | Up
SERAPHIM'S SERAPHIM: THE LIFE OF PELAGIA IVANOVNA SEREBRENIKOVA, FOOL FOR CHRIST'S SAKE OF THE SERAPHIM-DIVEYEVO CONVENT - $13
The life of Pelagia Ivanovna Serebrenikova, fool-for-Christ's-sake of the Seraphim-Diveyevo Convent, is one of "these little ones" whose witness to the rich variety of life in Christ we ignore at our spiritual peril. Too easily, we dismiss those who refuse to fit into our tidy categories as "troubled" or "ill" or "irresponsible"... and with far too great difficulty do we see the ways in which God uses them to mirror our own weakness. | Up
