The Odes of Solomon for Awakening:

★★★★★ A Spiritual Feast

“Once again, Abbot George Burke demonstrates his extensive knowledge, abundant experience, and great insight in the writing of this wonderful book. The beauty and devotion of the Odes of Solomon is further enhanced and made more accessible by his “comfortable” style of writing combined with a practical wisdom and broad vision I have rarely encountered. My understanding of the Odes, used often in my daily devotional, has increased tremendously.”
–Russ Thomas

“The “Odes” are a wonderful addition to the “for Awakening” series. Both Hierodeacon Simeon’s lovely translation and Abbot George’s deeply insightful commentary do great justice to this most ancient and exquisite work. It will rightfully hold an honored place in any seriously spiritual library…. Wonderful!”
–Br. Julian-Ozana

The Unknown Lives of Jesus and Mary:

“Stirring stories of the spiritual qualities of Mother Mary’s parents, Jesus performing miracles while still in His swaddling clothes, the inspiring faith of Saint Joseph in supporting Mary and Jesus, and my favorite chapter, The Ladakh Manuscript of the ‘Lost Years’ of Jesus in India, Pakistan and the Himalayas. A tough one to put down once you start reading.”
