Synopsis

You want the saints close. The books about them can feel far away.

Many lives of the saints are long, scholarly or hard to fit around work and family. Saints in My Daily Walk brings the wisdom of the Orthodox saints into the ordinary moments of modern life, whether you've belonged to the Church for years, are newly exploring Orthodoxy, or simply want a more personal connection with its traditions.

Written by Maria Bleahu, a priest's daughter who grew up in the life of the Church, this practical guide shows how the saints' lives can shape the way you meet everyday challenges. Inside you'll find:

  • Prayer and icons: how the saints prayed, and a clear, reverent introduction to icons in personal devotion
  • Virtues for today: patience, humility and love for a busy, distracted world
  • Journaling and reflection: simple ways to notice where God is at work in your days
  • Community and the Church year: living the rhythm of feasts and fasts with others
  • 18 modern Orthodox saints: a chronological chapter introducing saints such as Seraphim of Sarov, Nektarios of Aegina, Matrona of Moscow, John of Shanghai and Paisios the Athonite, with their lives, feast days and prayers for private devotion
