St Symeon's theology is a summation of a lifelong study of the Scriptures and fathers, of an immersion in the liturgical life of the Church and of lived experience. The treatises on the mystical life, usually rendered as The Ethical Discourses, comprise St Symeon's most extensive treatment of the experience of God. Volume I selects those treatises devoted to the Church, the sacraments and the last things. The SVS Press audiobook program is sponsored by St. Symeon Illumination Fund.

This is the third of a three-volume series. The first two volumes translated St Symeon's Ethical Discourses, while this audiobook seeks to place the teaching of the discourses in their proper context, both among Symeon's other writings and with regard to his sources in the Tradition. Included thus is a sketch of Symeon's life and times, together with an extensive discussion of his thought, particularly against the background in the ascetical, mystical, and theological literature of the Christian East prior to the tenth century.

Pastoral ministry was never meant to exhaust the shepherd. Many pastors preach faithfully, serve diligently, and love their people deeply—yet quietly sense that something essential has been displaced. Ministry becomes busy rather than fruitful, and faithfulness is measured by output rather than obedience. The DISCIPLING Book: A Pastor’s Best Friend calls pastors back to Scripture’s measure. Rooted in 1 Timothy 3 and 1 Timothy 4:16, this book distinguishes between preaching that inspires and teaching that equips. It shows why preaching alone cannot accomplish what God assigned teaching...
