I recently reviewed the NKJV Orthodox Study Bible from Thomas Nelson. It’s a beautifully made Bible with a wealth of resources connecting Scripture to early church history, creeds, and Orthodox tradition.

Lead A Quiet Life Blog

The Lead a Quiet Life blog on Patheos explores what it means to lead a quieter life at a slower pace, discovering a simple life and faith that embraces downward mobility in a chaotic world and a church often obsessed with excess.
