December 2011: Happy Holidays

We are forever grateful for your encouragement and support. Our happiness is secure in the hands of God reaching to us through your love and care. Thank you! This wonderful holiday season has already brought us so much joy! Two days ago Maria was finally scheduled for her visa interview, and we bought a ticket for her to come to the U.S.! The greater part of paperwork pains seems to be behind! Dima has also finished writing his first book “Divine Energy in Orthodox Liturgy.” It will be available for sale on Amazon.com in January, and the Kindle edition will come out in February (description below). Thank you so much for so much care and encouragement this whole year! ~ Dima and Maria

Dima's First Book: Divine Energy in Orthodox Liturgy

“A dialog between a westerner and an easterner can be reminiscent of a first contact scene between two alien civilizations from a typical science fiction movie. Premises that underlie either intellectual world are poised in defiance of any cultural intuition. We are confused and have a difficult time understanding one another. “Divine Energy in Orthodox Liturgy” is a journey into the single most concentrated locus of eastern thought, the Byzantine Liturgy, in which you will discover the heart of pure eastern mysticism in its vibrant Christian forms. You will gain the ability to better understand and appreciate historic Christianity and eastern thought as a whole.”
