Editorial Reviews

..This book? how can I adequately describe it..It's like having saints, elders, monks, nuns, priests, priest's wives, Godly families as your family counsel and authority..
Everything I knew in my heart, was put out in words in this book... It finally gave me great confidence and new insight on what I have been doing, and what still needs to be done...

Orthodox Christian Parenting is a must-have book for the modern Orthodox family struggling with the issue of how to transmit the beauty and values of our faith to children constantly bombarded with worldly superficial distractions. This is a wonderful collection of articles, impressions, and suggestions from a wide variety of Orthodox sources. The casual reader need not fear being hammered by authoritative directives. The overall tone of this collection is very helpful and nonjudgmental. ...

letter - Presbytera Juliana Cownie

A fantastic resource! Should be a requirement before conceiving children for all Christian parents. The guidelines set forth in this book challenge and convict the reader to be a better parent and a better Christian. I will be revisiting this book often in the course of my parenting journey.

Good Reads - Crystal Roberts

I must share my joy with you as I begin your book Orthodox Christian Parenting, graced by the comments throughout..I have jumped in the middle and found such comfort personally, as well as encouragement professionally. For those new Orthodox Christian moms, this will be a remarkable resource, but for those of all ages who were not graced by such parenting, the book itself will be a guide to permit much healing to occur by organizing one's life as you would a beloved child.

letter - NE C, M.D. psychiatrist

he first Orthodox parenting book that I like is called Orthodox Christian Parenting Cultivating God's CreationI love this book because it is more than just one author's perspective on parenting. It has sections and categories based on different parenting struggles and has advice from priests, nuns, monks, mothers, saints, and church fathers to name a few. Orthodox Christian Parenting is interesting, helpful, easy to read, and has the most comprehensive amount of topics. ...
