This is the sixth book in our series, “Orthodoxy for Children.”
This book is designed to help children understand the purpose of fasting in the Orthodox Church. It begins by talking about the difference between dieting for health reasons and fasting for God. Later on, it looks at the Biblical basis for fasting, highlighting how Christ Himself fasted in the desert. From there it goes on to talk about when we fast (looking at the Church year with its seasons of feasting and fasting), why we fast, and then later, explains what is more important than food in order to fast in a God-pleasing way.

As parents, we worry about a lot of things. We worry about our children’s education, their future careers… But in the Gospel, Christ says that “only one thing is needful.” Whether our children are successful in worldly terms, what truly matters is that they know Christ. To do that, we have to teach them how to pray. But where do we begin? What is prayer? What kind of prayers are pleasing to God? This book is offered as an aid to parents, to help them teach their children about this most important art of the Christian life.
32 pages long, 8x8.

A Note on Shipping
All of our books will be available on Amazon.com with Amazon’s standard shipping options. They can also be ordered through our website. Unfortunately, when ordering through our website, the shipping might make the books take a little longer (a week or two) to arrive so if you’d like your book in a few days, Amazon is the best bet. However, Amazon does take a sizable percentage of the price and we are a small business, run by a mission priest to help support his family. And so if you’re able to wait a week or two, we appreciate every order coming through the website and apologize that it won’t be quite as convenient. Also, we may occasionally be able to have sales on our books on the website. If you are a Church bookstore and would like to order multiple copies with a wholesale discount, we can best accommodate you through the website. Please email editor at exaltationpress dot com.
