Theotokos: Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ
With enthusiasm and poetic sensibility, Archbishop Raya discusses Mary as both Virgin and Mother, explaining motherhood as a profound knowing of another person, a presence, a sharing, and a means of intercession, and virginity as perfect freedom and glory. (Paperback, $9.95 US / $12.50 Cdn)

Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Explores the meaning of this great Biblical event as a sign of God’s glory, a manifestation of the Holy Trinity, and a revelation of Christ as a Divine Person. (Hardcover, $14.95 US / $16.95 Cdn)
