This book is written with two purposes in mind. The first is as a guide that can be used to introduce those seeking to learn about the Orthodox Church through her Traditions and practices. Thus, it can be used by both catechumens preparing for entry into the Orthodox Church or those simply seeking to learn about Orthodoxy as the fullest expression of Christianity.

However, the depth of information offered is more than would be required for a catechumen, thus the second purpose of this book is as a reference resource. Included in this book are answers to the most popular questions asked by the viewers of our Thursday Orthodoxy Q&A show on YouTube, many of which deal with modern issues for which clear answers are often difficult to find.
