About this listen

This revised edition includes a new epilogue, "Coming up on Twenty-Five Years" since the entry of the Evangelical Orthodox into the Holy Orthodox Church. This is the story of a handful of courageous men and their congregations who risked stable occupations, security and the approval of life-long friends to be obedient to God's call. It is also the story of every believer who is searching for the Church. Where Christ is Lord. Where holiness, human responsibility, and the sovereignty of God are preached. Where fellowship is more than a covered-dish supper in the church basement. And where fads and fashions take a backseat to apostolic worship and doctrine. This is a book, for Orthodox Christians, looking for ways to bring new life to their own Churches. It's also a book for those completely dissatisfied - those on their own search. And it's a book for Orthodox Christians, looking for renewal.

Maybe I misunderstood what I was expecting with this book but rather than being a book for others who might be interested in going to Orthodox it was more his personal story, with way too much detail! What tea they were drinking, how many steps to the door etc (I'm exaggerating but it felt like that sometimes).

I also got an uncomfortable American-esque evangelical/Baptist vibe from it too which actually put me off Orthodox more than draw me to it if I'm honest, as I've been part of that before and want nothing to do with it.

Just a personal story

A great book for those entering the church from Protestant evangelical background. So helpful and inspiring

Take time with this story of hope

An account of how a Protestant pastor and his colleagues came to the Orthodox Church as the end of their search for the true Christian faith.

One of the best Christian books I have listened to. Highly recommended.

Very moving

I was wondering whether there's something that could benefit me as Orthodox Christian? Having just finished it, I found this book to be spiritual gold, just as the books of F. A. Schmemann: deep, inspiring, truthful, revealing. And of course, a memoir of a truly fascinating journey.

Fascinating
