A Documentary Film About The Ancient Faith
Unearthing the spiritual heritage of Orthodox Christianity in America and the early Orthodox Church
BOOKS
American Orthodox: Finding the Ancient Faith in the Modern World is an immersive journey into the soul of Orthodoxy in America, told through the intersecting lives of three unlikely seekers. Against California’s rugged coastline, a State Park historian, a Native American healer, and a struggling screenwriter are drawn together at Fort Ross, where the story of a forgotten saint, Peter the Aleut, forever changes their lives. When a sacred icon is discovered in the wilderness, it sparks a spiritual awakening that links them to the mysterious life of Saint Peter and reshapes their understanding of faith, history, and destiny.
Delving into the mysteries of Fort Ross and its holy past, these three are brought face-to-face with the transformative power of an ancient faith, which once arrived on American soil with Russian missionaries and continues to inspire across generations. With vivid storytelling and a cinematic style, American Orthodox takes readers on a pilgrimage through California’s historic cathedrals and monasteries, weaving together the legacies of saints like Saint Innocent of Alaska and John of San Francisco. This book is a testament to the living presence of Orthodoxy in modern America, resonating with readers searching for deeper meaning and a connection to the divine.
In Light Journey: Saints, Miracles, and Sacred Places, we travel through the hidden spiritual landscape of North America, encountering moments of divine grace that defy explanation. From the holy sites of Alaska and the deserts of Arizona to the bustling cities where ancient faith still burns bright, these pages weave together history, personal pilgrimage, and divine intervention, revealing that the age of miracles is far from over.
From his early years as an intellectual seeker immersed in existential philosophy to his radical transformation as a monastic ascetic, Father Seraphim’s life was a profound journey toward truth—one that continues to inspire countless souls today. But who was he, truly? And why does his voice still resonate so powerfully in the modern world?
This book invites readers to look beyond the distractions of the modern age and walk the narrow path toward Christ, holiness, and true spiritual awakening.
