The Age of Paradise is the first of a projected four-volume history of Christendom, a civilization with a supporting culture that gave rise to what we now call the West. At a time of renewed interest in the future of Western culture, author John Strickland—an Orthodox scholar, professor, and priest—offers a vision rooted in the deep past of the first millennium. At the heart of his story is the early Church’s “culture of paradise”, an experience of the world in which the kingdom of heaven was tangible and familiar.

Violence in the Old Testament has long been a stumbling block for Christians and skeptics alike.

Story
Many Christians today divide ancient Jewish and Christian literature into two categories: what is in the Bible and what is not. The Christian East, however, has traditionally described a third category considered beneficial for Christians to listen to in the home: “apocrypha.” These texts, from the centuries before and after the Incarnation of Jesus Christ—beyond even the larger canons of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Old Testaments—reveal to us the religious world and theological framework of the apostles and early Church Fathers.

Speaking to non-believers and believers alike, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick attempts to create a sacred space in which we can encounter God. In this compact volume, he distills the essence of the traditional Christian faith, addressing the fundamental mysteries of where God is, who God is, why we go to church, and why Christian morality matters. If you’ve only heard about the Protestant or Roman Catholic version of Christianity, what he has to say may surprise you—and make you long to encounter God in Jesus Christ.

In this classic book, John of Damascus laboured to form one complete, clear, and brief theological work that would summarize all Christian doctrine that had been passed down and agreed upon. The following was said of the book: The result was an inexhaustible storehouse of tradition in which nothing is to be found that has not been either approved by the ecumenical synods or by the established leaders of the Church.

In layperson's terms, Mother Alexandra presents the essence of everything the church has to teach us about the angels, beginning with the Old Testament, continuing through the New Testament, and concluding with the tradition of the church as expressed in her theology, hymnography, and iconography.

A life-changing book!
I had purchased the Renewing You paper book when it was 1st released. Sadly, I have not had the time to sit down to read it. This Audible version of Renewing You, in the voices of Father Nick and Dr. Roxanne, is perfect! The issues addressed are relevant, the advice is sound and grounded in beautiful scripture quotations, and it gives the listener so many opportunities to move forward with life-changing habits, thoughts, and activities. The personal stories shared are very touching and helpful. I would recommend this Audible version of Renewing You to anyone working to be more in touch with themselves and improve their life and how they interact with those around them.

Wonderful book highly recommend for all!
All of us find at some point we are struggling in our Faith. Weather it is with prayer rule or even simply having the strength to go to Church. Farther Nick and Dr. Roxanne Louh have given us a wonderful gift in this book Renewing You. With the work of both a priest and Dr. Roxanne’s in Phycology their “Plan” puts forward a fresh a unique way in finding a path to Renew our Faith Foundation. The audible book is an easy and enjoyable listen. I would highly recommend this to both new and long-term Orthodox Christians. Infact this is a good book for any Christian. I found especially relevant for me Chapter 4: Turn Your Trials into Triumphs. I found this insightful and helpful.
All in all, a wonderful book that I would highly recommend
