After 25 years of searching in the New Age, Metaphysical and Eastern Practices, I came back to Christ through the Eastern Orthodox Church.  I was raised a Western Catholic and fell away from the Church as did many in my generation in my late teens.

In my first book, The Pearl of Great Price, I tell the story of my conversion, lifetime of Western culture and twenty plus years of New Age and Eastern religious indoctrination did not simply wash away with my baptism.  In this sequel to my Pearl of Great Price, I explore what it means to be an Orthodox Christian.

In Orthodox Christianity we have the opportunity to embark on a remarkable journey in Christ in which we are transformed and gradually returned into the likeness of God by the grace of the Holy Spirit.  This regeneration requires thankfully enduring with love our sufferings for and in Christ, learning how to cooperate with the will of God in a sacred collaboration, willingly born from love, humility and obedience to Christ, our Beloved, our Saviour.

In this first part of my second book, I share my humorous and challenging struggles, my hard earned moments of grace, and the beginning of my life in Christ.  How does one find the way to Christ in one's heart while picking up one's cross and following the tried and proven path to salvatiobn laid before us by Christ and His Saints.  'Come and see!'
