Living God - My Favorite Catechism

This two volume set is just a joy to read. Colorful icons and illustrations are found throughout. Any catechism is going to take you systematically through the various doctrines and teachings. What sets this apart is that the authors draw very heavily from the liturgical and hymnological tradition of the Church. They are taking the ancient Church principle - lex orandi, lex credendi (the rule of prayer dictates the rule of belief) - to lead us through the liturgical calendar and traditions of the Orthodox Church in order to guide us into her faith and life. Highly recommended.
