by David C. Ford, Mary Ford, Kallistos Ware (Foreword)

This new expanded and revised 20th anniversary edition includes the lives of over 180 married saints. Also of interest is the extensive Introduction, in which the authors present a summary of the consensus understanding of marriage in the Orthodox Tradition, using many quotations from various saints. This 20th anniversary edition is further enhanced by twenty-four illustrations, sixteen of which were expressly commissioned for this book and which include saints not commonly depicted.

I am very thankful for this book, and for it's update.
When I first read some of the stories, they were scandalizing to me. I understand so much more through the years.

[Ross Heckmann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good but in most cases I was left wanting to know more about their lives, their character, and how the dealt with various people and situations, although I realize that in many cases not so much is really known about them and not so much more could have been written in any event.

Fantastic! The lives of these married saints are such an encouragement and source of knowledge. Highly recommend for all Orthodox couples.
