Innocent (Veniaminov)

This introduction to what it means to be a Christian appeals both to the heart and mind of its readers. Its timelessness and universality are beyond dispute as it has been in print continually in English for sixty years and for nearly 180 years in its original Aleut and then Russian language editions. This new edition includes "Points for Reflection" that can be used both by an individual reader and for a group study.

One of the finest Orthodox catechisms ever written, authored by the sainted Bishop and missionary Innocent of Alaska. The original was written in the Aleut (Native American) language in 1833. The book begins with the premise that we are not to live on earth like animals and then to disappear but rather to live with God and in God for eternity.
