Excellent guide for preparing for 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.
