All Is Well

This deceptively small and simple book holds a great secret-the secret to achieving peace of mind in Christ. Beloved writer and teacher Dr. Al Rossi uses stories from his own life to illustrate the basic principles of watchfulness and prayer. The final chapter is a moving tribute to Dr. Rossi''s close friend of many years, Fr. Tom Hopko, whose Fifty-Five Maxims are also helpful in learning to say at all times, "All is well."

From a review: "Who doesn''t need to tame their inner control freak from time to time? Who hasn''t fallen prey to struggles like perfectionism, impurity, fear, and loneliness? Dr. Al Rossi''s All is Well is like a consoling travel companion through these and other stormy twists in the spiritual journey, guiding us on toward the promise of calmer seas. Taking threads from the desert fathers, Orthodox theology, personal experiences, and his training in psychotherapy, Dr. Rossi weaves a multifaceted tapestry that reminds our weary, storm-tossed world that not only will all be well in the end, but all is well in the here and now. This book is invaluable for any Christian hoping to move beyond the many thought traps that ensnare our faith and live more fully in the present reality of Christ." -Dr. Nicole Roccas, author of Time and Despondency: Regaining the Present in Faith and Life
