Saint Seraphim of Sarov

Holy Woman Martyrs

Welcome to Sophia’s Orthodox Books!

We at Sophia’s Orthodox Books believe that while a person may be very educated and have a great deal of knowledge -- if they don’t possess wisdom on the “one thing needful” in life, then that knowledge is worth nothing in the end. Knowledge serves us only in this temporal life. On the other hand, wisdom can be had by the most simple of people and will lead one to a life in Christ and, ultimately, salvation.

In this present age, people have many choices and paths to choose from in their search for the One True Faith. While many books and websites are available, it doesn’t take long to see how many different variations and contradictions will inevitably cloud and confuse your journey to the Truth. Therefore we have compiled a collection of books from credible sources that hold the teachings of the true Christian Church - Orthodoxy.

It is our true desire that you find our website helpful in your selection, that you enjoy these books and that they bring you peace and understanding.
