The two most recent books that I've added to my ever-growing Orthodox reading pile... American Orthodox and Voice in the Wilderness by Robert John Hammond. The same Robert John Hammond that directed the recently released documentary by the same title, American Orthodox, delving into the origins of Holy Orthodoxy in America! We were blessed to view it at our parish recently when he visited. Can't recommend it enough! Really looking forward to reading these! Blessed Lord's Day to all!!! 🙏☦️💙
