"Orthodox Faith and Life in Christ" by St. Justin Popovich

This book, Orthodox Faith and Life in Christ, compiled with the writings of St. Justin Popovich has become one of my favorite books on Apologetics for the Holy Orthodox Church.  St. Justin Popovich clearly with such pose and compassion and truth speaks about the Holiness that is the Orthodox Church.

From the back of the book, "In this book Fr. Justin expresses his deep admiration for the Orthodox Church, rejoices in Jesus Christ, and voices in a vivid new language his gratitude to Him.  He proclaims the uniqueness of the God-man and His Church and deplores the deviation of contemporary man from the Evangelical Truth.  His purpose is to express his unshakable faith in the Savior in order to build the body of the Church and to protect the revealed truths of the Gospel from heretical misinterpretations.  For him the Christian faith not only concerns a certain group of people, but is a matter of salvation of all Creation and should therefore be applied to all forms of life.  The text is evidence of the fact that Fr. Justin is one of the foremost Orthodox theologians of the twentieth century and a very wise interpreter and firm defender of the Tradition of the Orthodox Church."

I will post direct quotes from the book soon.  I implore anyone who loves the Holy Orthodox Church to get this book and bask in the truth which St. Justin Popovich writes to us by the grace of God.
