 | Good and Faithful Servant - Stewardship in the Orthodox Church
by Anthony Scott
RE1
This pioneering volume endeavors to develop an Orthodox Christian model
of stewardship by drawing on scriptural, patristic, historical,
dogmatic, and liturgical foundations. Renowned contributing authors
explore the links between wealth and poverty — from methods of
handling money in the pre-Nicene Church to twentieth-century American
patters of fundraising. Although it addresses moral and social themes
related to money management, almsgiving, and acts of mercy, this volume
also reminds us to measure stewardship in terms of self-giving, not
merely contributions of wealth but also offering our very lives to
Christ our Lord. Philanthropia, ultimately, is proven by cheerful giving, in a spirit of love, the source of which is in knowing the Almighty God.

 | Growing Faithful Families
by Rebecca Myerly
RE2
Growing Faithful Families is a book for all
Orthodox Christian families who are seeking to grow in faith through a
greater appreciation for and understanding of Scripture. In this
resource the focus is on the Scripture passages read during the Divine
Liturgy each Sunday throughout the liturgical year. For each week the
Epistle and Gospel readings are printed out in full, together with
superb suggestions to help the family share thoughts and insights about
the Scripture passages, grow in faith, serve one another in love, and
pray together. The book is designed to be used creatively, and is meant
to be adapted for use according to each family's needs and desires. It
is written for families with children ages 4-5 and up, but it can also
be used by individuals and couples without children. Growing Faithful
Families could readily be adapted for use by small faith sharing groups
of all ages.
