CHRIST IS RISEN!

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken (ἀσάλευτον), let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear." Hebrews 12:25-28

Are you curious about the Eastern Orthodox Church?

Unshakable, Finding a Forever Faith**,** is designed to meet the needs of the unprecedented number of seekers who are coming to Orthodox Christian Churches looking for answers about Jesus Christ and His Church. With its 2,000 year history of unbroken adherence to this ancient yet vibrant faith, its steadfastness attracts many who find themselves adrift in a sea of confusing, conflicting Christian confessions that no longer resemble the Christianity they knew. Still others come from pagan, atheistic, or agnostic backgrounds, also seeking truth. Based on the catechism classes taught by Rev. Deacon Athanasios (Clint) Sharpley for the past 11 years at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Dallas, Texas, Unshakable provides straightforward answers to the questions most seekers ask; namely, how is the Orthodox Church different from other Christian confessions and non-Christian religions? Is the Orthodox Church Scriptural? How are we saved?

The book is divided into three parts covering the history, worship and sacraments, and Paschal journey of the Church. Part One begins with the history of the Orthodox Church as “His-story,” examining its authority, authenticity, and unique ethos of the Orthodox Christian Church. Part Two explains the Orthodox Church’s worship using the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom as a springboard to explain important aspects of the faith. Part Three introduces the Lenten journey culminating in the intense drama of Holy Week and Pascha (Easter).

As the reader moves through the worship services of the Church, it becomes clear that the ancient manner of teaching the faith, through its worship, prayers, hymnology, Biblical readings, and exegesis of the Church Fathers, imbues the faithful with correct worship, correct teaching, and correct understanding. More than a one-time declaration of faith, Orthodox Christianity is a way of life, ever growing in Christ, and moving to the ultimate goal, theosis.
