Behold a Great Light: A Daily Devotional for the Nativity Fast Through Theophany

Ancient Faith Publishing, 2023

The forty days of fasting before Christmas are meant to prepare us for the Feast of the Nativity, but the busyness of the secular celebration can interfere with our best efforts to center our hearts on Christ. Behold a Great Light is a daily devotional designed to help readers contemplate the mysteries of the Incarnation from the beginning of the Nativity fast on November 15 through Christmas and Theophany, ending with the Synaxis of St. John the Baptist on January 7. Popular Ancient Faith authors, bloggers, and podcasters bring their own unique perspectives to these meditations, which are paired with selections from the Scriptures and the hymns of the Church.

A Long Walk with Mary: A Personal Search for the Mother of God

Ancient Faith Publishing, 2021

“The Orthodox Church’s reverence for Mary, the Mother of God can be a stumbling block for converts, and a fulfilling relationship with her can prove elusive for converts and lifelong Orthodox Christians alike. In this deeply personal but beautifully universal memoir, Brandi Willis Schreiber relates her own quest to know and love the Virgin Mary and to incorporate her as a vital participant in her spiritual life. Brandi’s sparkling, vulnerable account invites the reader to join her in this quest.” - Ancient Faith Publishing
