Book Description
A twentieth-century mystic's meditative reflection on the role of God the Father in eternity and in time. The book brings the reader a greater awareness of the First Person of the Trinity in eternity, and the interaction of the Three Persons. Then the reader is helped to consider the role of the Father in creation and throughout salvation history. Finally we are led to contemplate the Eternal Life toward which the Father's love is drawing us. A very approachable and beautiful work, Adrienne closes her prayerful and meditative exploration with: ""Thus, by virtue of the Son's sacrifice and his having brought the world home again, the Father is able to regard men as his eternal creatures. Eternal life is not situated in heaven, far from man's grasp, something self-enclosed; it is the life-filled Word, in which men have a share because they are capable of taking it in. And that capability is itself grace.""

Book Description
Countenance of Man can be simply described as a beautiful portrayal of this plain thing called life. Although a work of fiction, it recalls memories that touch each of us as we grow to adulthood. Countenance provides us a look into Randall Simmons as he rediscovers his father, Paul, through the family recollections, stories and notes he discovers in the last two days of his father’s life. For Randall, this story begins with feelings of self-guilt brought on by his acknowledgement of his distant indifference and ends with new-found love, respect, and understanding. The journey of discovery begins with recounts of the father’s days as an adolescent and progresses through the significant, life-changing experiences that influenced his life. These experiences and connections show the profound impact that life had on Paul; growing from a young man wanting to escape his home to middle-aged man wanting to succeed at all cost, to a mature man recognizing he just wants to make amends and make life better for others. This profound journey includes military tours of duty, business challenges, family travesties, the loss of loved ones, and ultimately financial sacrifice. Paul's story touches with a poignancy, but also provides us with parallels in experience that each of us has faced, or will face in our lives. The story shows us a just person and his transition into a man as a function of the life experiences he faced. Through a series of chronological vignettes from 1943 through 2015, we are invited into Paul's family, providing a heart-wrenching look at one person's life. The vignettes are not intended to position Paul as a hero, but merely to provide a different lens through which his son, Randall can see and understand his father.

Book Description
Iconography is the study of the history, practice, and symbolism of painted Christian images. Iconology probes deeper still, into the "icon" of Divine Presence in the inner man, who is himself made "in the image [eikón] of God" (Gen 1:26), as the place where Wisdom seeks to make her home. Written by an iconographer with forty years' experience researching the nature and mission of the icon, The Angel of the Countenance of God explores the biblical epiphanies of God-their translation into images, their mythological parallels, and their Trinitarian and Christological implications. Drawing on his own icon-writing, V. L. Andrejev here focuses on the biblical theme of the "Angel of Jehovah," distinguishing the "created Angels" of the Heavenly Hierarchies from this "uncreated Angel" of Theophany, that divine Being Moses beheld in the flames of the Burning Bush, and Christian tradition depicts as the royal maiden Sophia, personification of the Wisdom of God. This distinction carries profound consequences for iconography, dogmatic theology, and discipleship. The icon written on a board is the "spoken" word made visual, but its final significance lies within each person. For it is man himself, as the living icon of the Image of God, who by means of the immaterial, essential Light of God makes visible in icons the "actions" of God. Icon-writing is "symbolic realism," and though not able to depict God, is able to depict the image of His actions. The fulfillment of the icon, the image of God, is love-the love uniting Bride and Bridegroom in the Song of Songs; that same love hymned by St Symeon the New Theologian and St Maximus the Confessor. The Angel of the Countenance of God will be of value to all who have an interest in iconography, Trinitarian Christology, Sophiology, and Eastern Christianity.
