Saints of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church: A Guided introduction to Apostolic Faith for Young Readers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249176587)

Holiness is not a story from the past. It is a living calling within the Church.

Saints of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church introduces young readers to the meaning of holiness as it has been preserved in the Apostolic faith of the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition. Rooted in Holy Scripture, the teaching of the Fathers, and the lives of Ethiopian saints, this book presents sanctity not as legend or myth, but as participation in the life of Christ within His Church.

Beginning with the foundations of holiness - the Incarnation, the Church as the Body of Christ, ascetic discipline, sacred time, martyrdom, and the communion of saints - this volume guides readers through the theological vision that shapes Ethiopian Orthodox spirituality. It then introduces selected saints whose lives embody this vision through prayer, perseverance, worship, and faithful confession.

Written for thoughtful young readers (ages 13+), this book is designed for family study, youth catechesis, and personal reflection. It invites readers to understand that the same grace that sanctified the saints continues to work within the Church today.

The path of holiness remains open.
