Our books and materials have been created to provide spiritual care for those in prison and to train people in prison ministry. However, much of this material is suited to anyone seeking the Lord. You may purchase anything for yourself or for someone you know.
The materials intended for prisoners have been printed and designed to meet prison mailroom requirements.
These items are sent “FREE” to prisoners who request them from us directly (as long as supply lasts). You may only request materials for yourself.
For those in prison wishing to inquire about or receive correspondence and spiritual care, write to us at:

Fr. Hopko’s Introduction describes Joy’s book as a powerfully dynamic description of how we can participate in Christ’s victory over the devil, darkness, disease and death. She describes in detail the many tools (eleven in number) that Christ provides for us to be not victims but “overcomers,” describing in detail what St. Paul calls, “the whole armor of God.” She is constrained to expose and analyze, in starkest and most vivid detail, our ceaseless warfare with the devil and his evil angels, as she describes the powerful arsenal God makes available to us that we may share forever in Christ’s invincible victory.

These books work together to instruct the basics of Orthodox Christian belief and Orthodox Christian living. “What is a catechism?” you may ask. Catechism comes from a Greek word meaning “to teach or inform.” Saint Luke’s Gospel was written in order to confirm to Theophilus “the things of which you have been informed” (Luke 1:4). The Bible text primarily used in the lessons is the Revised Standard Version with Apocrypha. The Apocryphal books were used by the early Church and are still used by the Orthodox Church.

Financial problems, sickness, prison, divorce and death- The list of things that seem to be able to harm us are endless. Here is an incredible treatise from the hand of one of the greatest preachers in the history of Christianity, St. John Chrysostom, who suffered much and died a miserable death in exile. His words will transform the way one thinks about any kind of suffering. The study questions at the end of each chapter, written by Fr. Stephen Powley, will take the readers even further in thinking through the words of St. John Chrysostom.
