Dear Father Nikolai,

What book is being read for Great Lent?

Subdeacon John and myself would like to participate in this group.

With Love In Christ,

I would recommend a small book that would allow you to read a page or two a week- in fact they are sermons by Archbishop Andrei (ROCOR-Novo/diveevo convent) the title of the book is;
THE ONE THING NEEDFUL..it has sermons for every sunday from the Nativity of Christ to 28th sunday after pentecost-The Holy Fathers...

One thig needful is good, but IMO more as a weekly reading since it applies to specific Sundays of the Week. Last year we did a short book like this however.

Genesis, Creation and Early Man

Not too many people were interested in a Lenten book this year, but for those of you who are, how about we all read Genesis, Creation and Early Man. No big deal if you do not finish by Pascha since it is a big book. It is a very important book to learn about the beginning of the world as the Church Fathers taught.
