New to the Ancient Faith?

Like me, you might be new to the ancient faith. Even if you know the Bible well and might have begun you journey two decades earlier, you are probably clueless to the Orthodox faith. This book was a big help as I am rediscovering my Christian faith in the ancient faith.

MUST HAVE!
