В наше время светскими издательствами публикуется огромное количество «канонов», «акафистов» и «молитв» о умерших некрещеных, нерожденных и самоубийцах. Все это противоречит вероучению Православной Церкви и чтение подобных молитв может принести большой духовный вред читающим, поскольку вплотную граничит с ересью.
Мы поместили в своем издании только церковные, канонические тексты, содержащиеся в православных богослужебных книгах: Октоихе, Триоди, Следованной Псалтири.

Перед вами книга, которая в начале XX века была учебником по Закону Божию в народных училищах, средних учебных заведениях, церковно-приходских школах. Несмотря на то, что сборник о. Григорием (протоиереем Григорием Васильевичем Чельцовым, духовным писателем, магистром Санкт-Петербургской духовной академии, 1840-1916) был составлен более ста лет назад, до сегодняшнего дня он не потерял своего значения, потому что рассказывает о главном, вечном - о Боге, Пресвятой Богородице, святых Православной Церкви и о важнейших православных праздниках. Настоящее издание будет хорошим подспорьем для изучения Ветхого и Нового Заветов и основ православной культуры.
Текст печатается по: Закон Божий для семьи и школы в вопросах и ответах/ Сост.
Протоиерей Григорий Чельцов, Издательство: Типографiя М. И. Акинфiева / Санкт-Петербургъ, 1911.

Для кого-то из наших юных читателей этот молитвослов станет первым. После Евангелия это самая важная книга. Почему? На этот вопрос ответил священник Артемий Владимиров: "Потому что в нем собраны молитвы, которые для человеческой души столь же необходимы, как свет, воздух и пища... Нет для человека большей радости, чем молитва к Живому Богу. Действительно, Отец Небесный видит, слышит и любит нас! Он хранит нас от всех бед и напастей, Он заботится о нас и ведет по пути спасения. Ответить на столь великую любовь Господа мы можем в наших молитвах". В этом молитвослове есть молитвы на все случаи жизни, их оставили нам святые люди. Предки наши не зря говорили: "Молитвы читать -зла не знать".

«Евангелие» значит «Благая весть». Это самая важная книга для каждого христианина, потому что в ней Господь возвещает о Своей любви к нам, о том, что ради этой любви Бог жертвует Своего Сына Иисуса Христа для того, чтобы каждый верующий в Него не погиб, но имел Жизнь Вечную.
Мы должны знать о том, как Господь Иисус Христос осуществлял наше Спасение, чтобы мы могли разделить радость спасения и чтобы жертва Иисуса Христа оказалась для нас и наших детей не напрасна. Об этом и рассказывается здесь, в этой книге.
Специально для семейного чтения, для детей и родителей подготовлено это чудесное красочное издание со множеством иллюстраций, созданных в соответствии с канонами Православной Церкви.
Книга разбита на небольшие по объему главы, каждая из которых освещает одно из событий, и благодаря этому дети смогут узнавать Евангельскую историю постепенно, легко усваивая прочитанное.

Иоанн Кронштадтский (Иван Ильич Сергиев, 1829-1908 гг.) - священник Русской Православной Церкви, проповедник, один из самых значимых святых российской северной столицы. Как духовный проповедник, он оставил после себя немало проповедей и дневниковых записей, которые слагались в его многочисленные религиозные сочинения. Центральное место среди них занимает "моя жизнь во Христе, или минуты духовного трезвления и созерцания, благоговейного чувства, душевного исправления и покоя в Боге". В предисловии к своей книге "моя жизнь во Христе" святой праведный Иоанн Кронштадский пишет о том, что все содержащееся в ней - это благодатное озарение души, которого ему довелось удостоиться от "всепросвещающего Духа Божия в минуты глубокого к себе внимания и самоиспытания, особенно во время молитвы". К тем, кто стремится приблизить свою жизнь к идеалу, Всероссийский пастырь обращается со словами: "Христос, введенный в сердце верою, восседает в нем миром и радостью. Недаром говорится о Боге: Свят еси и во святых почиваеши".
Издание подготовлено по: Полное собрание сочинений настоятеля Кронштадтского Андреевского собора, о. Иоанна Ильича Сергиева Моя жизнь во Христе, или Минуты духовного трезвения и созерцания, благоговейного чувства, душевного исправления и покоя в Боге": Извлечения из дневника. 2-е изд., испр. автором. - СПб., 1893-1894.

"A psalm is a city of refuge from the demons, a means of inducing help from the angels, a weapon in fears by night, a rest from toils by day, a safeguard for infants, an adornment for those at the height of their vigor, a consolation for the elders, a most fitting ornament for women." -St. Basil the Great
If you want to make the Psalter a more integral part of your life - either on your own or as part of a Psalter group - Songs of Praise is the perfect aid. It includes the full text of the Ancient Faith Psalter (with wide margins for note-taking). Each kathisma is followed by a reflection from popular Orthodox Mom blogger Sylvia Leontaritis plus several blank pages for journaling. Read, reflect, and journal your way through the Psalter and let its holy words sink into your soul.
About the Author: Sylvia Leontaritis is an Orthodox wife, mother, and author. She's loved words since she was old enough to string them together, and when her second-grade teacher taped her story to the blackboard, she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. When she's not writing, Sylvia can usually be found knitting, baking with her boys, or hiding in their treehouse. She lives in North Carolina with her husband, three sons, and their pet hedgehog. She is currently working on her next project, a middle-grade adventure series for Orthodox kids. You can find her blogging at Adventures of an Orthodox Mom (www.orthodoxmom.com).
Praise for Songs of Praise:
Songs of Praise: A Psalter Devotional for Orthodox Women and the Psalter Groups it promotes forge spiritual bonds of kinship – something so necessary as we navigate the most “connected” but spiritually disconnected time in history. [The book] not only contains the entire Psalter, space for recording one’s own reflections, but also Sylvia Leontaritis' own musings about her struggles, hopes, and spiritual insights. Her words not only mirror the intimate, prayer-filled psalms of King David, but meaningfully connect the contemporary reader to the essence of the Psalter. Songs of Praise includes all my favourite things: prayers, sayings of the Holy Fathers, space for me to write down my thoughts, and friendship. It is a great resource and boon for every Orthodox Christian woman.
-Matushka Constantina Palmer, author of The Scent of Holiness
With all the charm and exuberance of a best friend who has stumbled onto something that she must share, Sylvia Leontaritis shares her love of the Psalms in this beautiful psalter journal. In between each of the twenty kathismas (a grouping of several short chapters of the Psalms) are some of the author's personal thoughts, followed by blank pages for one's own journaling. The whole book is simple, beautiful, and best of all, ready for you and me to dive into the good work of reading or chanting, meditating on, and absorbing the Psalms. It is the perfect spiritual effort to do alone or in a group any time of year, but especially during one of the longer fasts. Songs of Praise has everything you need, best friend included, except a pen! (And I have plenty to share if you happen to need one...)

Infanticide. Holy war. Divine wrath. Violence in the Old Testament has long been a stumbling block for Christians and skeptics alike. Yet conventional efforts to understand this violence—whether by downplaying it as allegory or a relic of primitive cultures, or by dismissing the authority of Scripture altogether—tend to raise more questions than they answer. God Is a Man of War offers a fresh interpretation of Old Testament accounts of violence by exploring them through the twofold lens of Orthodox tradition and historical context. Father Stephen De Young examines what these difficult passages reveal about the nature of Christ and His creation, bearing witness to a world filled not only with pain and suffering—often of human making—but also with the love of God.
About the Author: Fr. Stephen De Young is the author of Religion of the Apostles from Ancient Faith Publishing and is also the pastor of Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church (Antiochian) in Lafayette, Louisiana. He holds a PhD in Biblical Studies from Amridge University and is the host of The Whole Counsel of God podcast and co-host of the Lord of Spirits podcast on Ancient Faith Radio. He is also the author of The Whole Counsel Blog on the Ancient Faith Ministries website. Fr. Stephen wrote this book in response to requests for an Orthodox perspective on violence in the Old Testament.

This prayer bracelet has a uniqueness that makes it special to every pious Christian. The beads come from a plant known as the “Tear of the Virgin Mary.” This plant sprouted miraculously under the Cross of Jesus Christ during the terrible yet glorious hour of His crucifixion. It grew from the compassionate tears of the Virgin Mary, which sprang from the enormous pain and love of the earthly Mother of God Incarnate, Who was sacrificed for man’s salvation.
This prayer rope is therefore a symbol of the sorrow, the pain, and the tears of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of our God, manifest in the seeds of this unique plant.This was revealed in a miraculous way - there was a pious monk who was unable to learn how to make prayer rope knots out of wool. With much pain of heart and many tears he prayed to the Panagia, and she, as a most compassionate mother, appeared in front of him and asked, “Why are you so sad?” To which he replied with awe, “Because on my own I cannot learn how to make a prayer rope.” She, as a sympathetic mother, gave him the seeds of this plant and said, “My child, take my tears, cultivate them, and make prayer ropes with which men may say the prayer of the heart.”
The bracelet has 20-22 seeds and measures 6 - 6.5 in.
