Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. THE LARGEST EASTERN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AMERICA - AND THEANCIENT FAITH MOST AMERICAN CATHOLICS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. In the suburbs of Detroit, in the cathedral of Baghdad, in thehalf-restored churches of the Nineveh Plain, and in the silentruins of medieval monasteries scattered from Anatolia to China, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world is stillcelebrating the same Eucharistic prayer it has prayed since thefourth century. This is the Chaldean Catholic Church - thelargest Eastern Catholic Church in the United States, withroughly 224,000 American faithful, and the institutionalinheritor of an apostolic tradition that traces itself backto the Apostle Thomas and his disciples Addai and Mari. For sixteen centuries this Church has lived through eventsthat would have destroyed almost any other Christian community: - The Great Persecution of Shapur II (4th century), whichkilled tens of thousands of Persian Christians- The missionary expansion that reached China in 635 AD andleft an inscribed Christian stele standing in Xi'an- A Mongol golden age where Christian princesses ruledalongside Genghis Khan's descendants- The catastrophic destruction by Timur (Tamerlane) thatreduced a continent-spanning Church to a mountain remnant- Four centuries of survival in the Hakkari mountains- The first union with Rome in 1552 under Yohannan Sulaqa- The genocide of 1915 (the Sayfo), the Simele Massacreof 1933, and the ISIS occupation of the Nineveh Plainin 2014- Pope Francis's historic 2021 visit to Iraq This book - the first comprehensive single-volume English-language history of the Chaldean Catholic Church written forgeneral readers - tells that entire story. It traces the pathfrom the first apostolic missions in Mesopotamia, through thecontroversies surrounding Nestorius and the formation of theChurch of the East, through the medieval golden age ofexpansion across Asia, through the long centuries of declineand mountain refuge, through the complicated three-centurypath to union with Rome, through the modern genocides andpersecutions, to the contemporary Chaldean Catholic Churchin Detroit, San Diego, Sydney, Stockholm, and Baghdad. It addresses what most readers don't know: - Why the Anaphora of Addai and Mari is one of the oldestEucharistic prayers in continuous Christian use- How the Nestorian controversy of the fifth century wasbased largely on misunderstanding, and how the 1994 CommonChristological Declaration between Pope John Paul II andthe Assyrian Patriarch finally clarified it- Why Christian missionaries from Mesopotamia reachedBeijing in 635 AD, eight hundred years before Marco Polo- How the Chaldean community in metropolitan Detroit becameone of the most institutionally successful immigrantreligious communities in modern American history- What survives of the ancient Christian heartland in Iraqafter the ISIS catastrophe - and what the future holdsfor a Church that has now become primarily a diasporaChurch Written for Catholics who want to understand the universalChurch beyond its Western expressions, for Chaldean faithfulwho want to know their own story, for anyone moved by theplight of Middle Eastern Christians, and for students ofChristian history who want to learn about a tradition thathas been overlooked by mainstream Western scholarship. This is the book that the Chaldean Catholic community hasbeen waiting for - and the book that every Catholic withan interest in the global Church should read.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There is a moment in every liturgy when the priest disappears behind the iconostasis and the congregation is left in silence. The candles flicker. The incense rises. And for a few seconds, before the mind fills the space with distraction, something opens. A presence. A weight. A warmth that has nothing to do with the temperature of the room.Most people feel it and move on. But for some-and if this book has found its way into your hands, you may be one of them-that moment lingers. It lingers because it felt more real than anything else that happened that day. And the question it leaves behind is simple: What was that? And can it happen again?This book is a practical guide for the layperson who wants to enter the deep mystical tradition of Eastern Christianity-the tradition of the Desert Fathers, the hesychast saints of Mount Athos, the Russian elders, the modern startsi like Saints Silouan, Paisios, and Porphyrios. It is written not for monks, not for academics, but for ordinary people with jobs, families, and limited time who long to know God directly.Across 27 chapters in 5 parts, it covers the foundation of what mysticism actually is and isn't, the goal of theosis, the three pillars of Eastern spirituality, and why this tradition belongs to laypeople too. It walks through the practices-the Jesus Prayer with its history and how to learn it and weave it into daily life, lectio divina, contemplative silence, fasting, the Eucharist as mystical encounter, confession as transformation, and icons and the contemplative gaze. It addresses life applications: mysticism in solitude, marriage, work, parenthood, and suffering. It explores the theology-the apophatic and kataphatic ways, theosis explained, the Holy Spirit and grace, and the Church Fathers on contemplation. And it faces the obstacles head-on: spiritual pride, dryness and the dark night, finding a spiritual guide, and persevering over decades.Three substantial appendices follow: selected prayers from the tradition including the Jesus Prayer, Trisagion, Ephrem the Syrian, pre-Communion prayers, and evening prayers; a complete 30-day introduction to the practices that turns the book into something you can actually do; and a survey of saints organized by which practice they exemplified.This is the book for the convert who has been Orthodox for a year and wants to go deeper. For the Catholic discovering the East. For the Protestant exploring contemplative prayer. For anyone who has read Way of a Pilgrim or the Philokalia and wondered how to actually live this way in 2026.The practices in this book have been tested by two thousand years of lived experience. They work. Not because they are magical, but because they dispose the human heart to receive what God is always offering: Himself.Begin today. This item is printed on demand.
