This revised edition includes a new epilogue, "Coming up on Twenty-Five Years" since the entry of the Evangelical Orthodox into the Holy Orthodox Church. This is the story of a handful of courageous men and their congregations who risked stable occupations, security and the approval of life-long friends to be obedient to God's call.It is also the story of every believer who is searching for the Church. Where Christ is Lord. Where holiness, human responsibility, and the sovereignty of God are preached. Where fellowship is more than a covered-dish supper in the church basement. And where fads and fashions take a backseat to apostolic worship and doctrine.This is a book, for Orthodox Christians, looking for ways to bring new life to their own Churches. It's also a book for those completely dissatisfied--those on their own search. And it's a book for Orthodox Christians, looking for renewal.

(Written by Peter Gilquist, author of BECOMING ORTHODOX as...)
Written by Peter Gilquist, author of BECOMING ORTHODOX as well a one of the original members of Campus Crusade for Christ who converted to Orthodoxy, this biography tells the story of the Most Reverend Metropolitan Archbishop Phillip (Saliba)from his origins in Lebanon up to his life in the early 1990's. Saliba remains the Primate of the Antiochian Orthodox Church in America. Gilquist writes with a great deal of love and respect for Met. Philip, who was the hierarch who opened his denomination to the Evangelical Orthodox Church formed by the former members of Campus Crusade for Christ, an Evangelical para-church organization. Metropolitan Philip is perhaps the most progressive of the Primates of the various Orthodox Churches in America. This easily read biography does not really go into depth about the man, but simply serves as an introduction to his life.
