Since its initial publication in 1987, 'Preparing for Confession' has consistently been a highly sought-after book. We're delighted to reintroduce it with a revised edition, offering practical preparation advice and addressing key questions like 'What constitutes sin?' and 'What role does the priest play?' This guide is indispensable for Orthodox Christians seeking a more profound experience of the Sacrament of Confession.
This book explains the purpose of confession in the Orthodox Church and how to prepare for it. The chapter with questions for self-reflection are especially helpful and the final section of the book contains Psalms of repentance and quotes from some of the Church Fathers regarding confession. This is not a long book, but it is full of insight and help for the Christian preparing for confession.
Very helpful and informative booklet on the sacrament of confession. Must read for all catechumens preparing for their lifetime confessions before being received into the church.
