Romanian bundle! - Save 5% on an Icon of St. John of Prislop and our book in which he plays a part, Triangle of Forgiveness

Save by purchasing an icon & book bundle!

This beautiful icon of St. John of Prislop, by Protodeacon Paul Drozdowski, was commissioned to be a part of our book project, Triangle of Forgiveness, in which this 16th century saint plays a role in the life of the characters.  We offer mounted copies in four sizes.

Triangle of Forgiveness, Fr. Nicolae, the elderly Romanian village priest in this engaging work of historical fiction, explains: “Forgiveness works in a triangle. We forgive others; and when we forgive others, we forgive ourselves; and God forgives both.”

Fr. Nicolae’s flock of Communist Romanians know first-hand the temptations of the godless, demon-infested culture they live in. For some, its spiritual oppression sanctifies them as lumps of coal transformed through pressure into diamonds; for others, that same pressure obliterates their human spirit turning them into fleshly kin of fallen angels.

For us, this journey through the inner reality of atheistic Romania reveals eternal spiritual truths and brings to the fore the hidden forces still coursing through our modern world.

“Beyond being an engaging read (which it is!), this novel is true medicine for the soul. This work will be sure to be a blessing to whoever reads it!”
–Fr. Paul Truebenbach, Sts. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church, Salt Lake City, Utah
