The modern world doesn't acknowledge but is nevertheless haunted by spirits-angels, demons, and saints. In our time, many yearn to break free of the prison of a flat, secular materialism, to see and to know reality as it truly is. What is this spiritual reality like? How do we engage with it well? How do we permeate everyday life with spiritual presence? In The Lord of Spirits: An Orthodox Christian Framework for the Unseen World and Spiritual Warfare, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick provides a distillation and expansion of the material in the popular podcast The Lord of Spirits, which he co-hosts with Fr. Stephen De Young.

St. Ignatius, first-century Bishop of Antioch, called the "God-bearer," is one of the earliest witnesses to the truth of Christ and the nature of the Christian life. Tradition tells us that as a small child, Ignatius was singled out by Jesus Himself as an example of the childlike faith all Christians must possess (see Matthew 18:1-4). In Bearing God, Fr. Andrew Damick recounts the life of this great pastor, martyr, and saint, and interprets for the modern reader five major themes in the pastoral letters he wrote: martyrdom, salvation in Christ, the bishop, the unity of the Church, and the Eucharist.

Speaking to non-believers and believers alike, Fr. Andrew Damick attempts to create a sacred space in which we can encounter God. In this compact volume, he distills the essence of the traditional Christian faith, addressing the fundamental mysteries of where God is, who God is, why we go to church, and why Christian morality matters. If you've only heard about the Protestant or Roman Catholic version of Christianity, what he has to say may surprise you-and make you long to encounter God in Jesus Christ.

Poetry in the English tradition from an American Orthodox Christian. Songs of Time and Season is a collection of poetry by Andrew Stephen Damick, an Orthodox Christian and lover of English literature. In it, he attempts to come to grips with many of the central themes of life in Christ -- what it means to love truly, the inner meaning of repentance, communion with the Divine, the great feasts of the Orthodox Church, holy places, and other central themes of sojourn in this earthly life. It features prominently his epithalamion Tradition's Time, a 12-stanza 365-line poem written for his own wedding which is arranged around the Church calendar. He invites you to come and savor with him the traditional forms of English poetry with a fresh dip into eternal waters. Click here for a full description and excerpts.
