    About this ebook

    Gardeners know that in order for a tree to be healthy and develop strong roots, it must be watered deeply and fed well while young. Later, when the inevitable storms come, the strong roots will be deep enough to prevent the tree from blowing over. If the roots are shallow, the tree will be lost.

    In the sacrament of holy marriage we hear: Your children will be like olive shoots around your table (Psalm 128:3). A verdant and fruit-bearing olive tree requires cultivation, and all the more does the raising of our children. If we teach them all we can about their faith as early as possible, giving them spiritual roots that are strong and run deep, then when they face the world their faith will not blow away like seedlings in a storm.

    This book is especially designed for busy Orthodox Christian parents. It is the fruit of the labors of many pooled resources: Scripture, holy fathers, clergy, clergy families, monastics, and Orthodox parents. In the end, our children are the fruit of God's grace and our labors. If we spiritually tend to them in their youth, we will have nurtured their potential to grow into amazing, faithful, fruitful, even holy Orthodox Christians. Let us work diligently when they are young and the harvest will be plentiful. Now an Ebook - 2016.

    Marie L. Eliades

    Marie Eliades earned her B.A. and M.A. in clinical psychology (with a concentration in marriage, family, and child counseling) at Antioch University, Los Angeles, California. Over the course of a decade, while raising her family, she completed a rigorous series of courses earning a diploma in Orthodox Christian Studies through Saint Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology (1997-2010). She and her family were parishioners of Nativity of Christ Greek Orthodox Church in Novato, CA from 1996-2014 when she and her husband moved to Dunlap, CA. Marie was a long-term editor/columnist of The Trading Post column in The Handmaiden - An Orthodox Christian Women's Journal (1997-2008). In 2004 she began working with Constantine Zalalas, of Saint Nicodemos Publications, organizing transcribers, as well as transcribing and editing various Orthodox Christian theological books, many of which bring the teachings of Archimandrite Athanasios Mitilinaios (1927-2006) from Greek into the English written word. Concurrently, in 2008, she began collecting, editing, formatting, designing, and producing an anthology of writings published as Orthodox Christian Parenting – Cultivating God’s Creation in 2013 under the company she created, Zoë Press. She has been blessed with help from a small army of friends, laity, parents, priest wives, priests, and monastic volunteers through the years. The first volume in the Revelation series, Homilies on the Book of the Revelation was published in 2009, after which Marie began learning book design and publishing resulting in the second volume: Revelation: The Seven Seals - Orthodox Christian Lessons by Archimandrite Athanasios Mitilinaios in 2014 andRevelation: The Seven Trumpets & The Antichrist - Orthodox Christian Lessons in 2015. This series has been translated and adapted by Constantine Zalalas. The third Revelation volume completes 57 of the 104 lessons given byElder Athanasios. In the fall of 2015 Marie, Zoë Press, served as Copy & Managing Editor for the English version of Tears of Repentance True Experiences in A Greek Taxi Cabby Athanasios Katigas, translated by Father Nicholas Palis and published by Saint Nicodemos Publications. Marie met her husband, Peter G. Eliades, in 1982, has been married nearly three decades, and raised three children. She earned a California teaching credential and homeschooled their children through high school. Two children attended and graduated from UC Berkeley and the third graduated from UC Davis. Their daughter is a monastic. Their middle son serves in the altar at his parish and is successful in his career. Their youngest son began graduate studies at Holy Cross seminary in 2015. Marie is a very blessed woman and the sole proprietor of Zoë Press. Glory to God for all things!
