University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

Had it not been for this book, I would not have been able to articulate a simple but basic question: What is life in this world for? It was only when this question became a real, even urgent concern for me that I saw, with Fr. Schmemann’s help, that it was possible to see and experience all aspects of life as gifts, which we are privileged to offer back to God in gratitude. This book helped me understand that everything matters and that hope is perhaps the most practical virtue of all.
