The Saint Haralambos book is at the printer. It is now called Joyful Light. God willing it will be here soon but we missed his name day.
Revelation -Volume 3 is being re-printed too. Volumes 1-5 have all sold out of their first printings.
Our “to do” list includes several life translations and more +holy Elder Athanasios Mitilinaios.
So, we aren’t good at blogging, not good at all. Since the last post we did publish all the Revelation series as Ebooks for our international readers.
We have an artist for our upcoming children’s book, but she’s a busy homeschooling mom.
Our Saint Haralambos project is moving slower than we had hoped. God willing he’ll be done this year.
We are looking for translators for a very big project - spoken Greek to written English.
We are compiling some favorite +Geronda Athanasios Mitilinaios talks and quotes.
We are compiling some quotes to help people with pain. God knows what that will be like, but we have it in mind.
We would also consider some printer ready publications to sponsor.
USPS no longer accepts priority mail boxes to Australia. We are seeking another method but in the meantime. Get the Revelation Ebooks and the Saint Nikiforos Paraklesis via Ebook, pdf.
We have been struggling, over the years, getting our heavy paperback books to people outside of the USA & Canada (we have a Canadian distributor: see FAQs).
USPS has lost expensive packages or they get returned to us and we have to refund. Our little post office in the middle of nowhere has only old machinery, which makes shipping books even more complicated. The expense of shipping books is major.
The time and expense for both sides over the years led us to making Ebooks for people like the YOU in Brazil, Australia, Great Britain, South Africa, etc.
In any event, the world is not getting easier to reach. We spent between May and September this year doing some more editing in the books and worked with a great little company converting the files which we printed from into Ebooks. Thank you Hitch and crew at booknook.biz!
Some of you would probably like to buy only one at a time, but ZP is a little company and doesn’t have staff to fulfill orders that way. Since the cost of buying 5 Ebooks is less than shipping alone to Australia we think it works out to get all 5 at once.
Of course, we had to pay for the conversion and while we don’t like to make profits we have to pay the bills.
So, that is the business of Revelation Ebooks. They are ready! YAY.
God bless you all. Stay strong.

September 3, 2021:
We had a busy August with a big increase in sales for the nuns incredibly beautiful Paraklesis books and CDs.
The Saint Nikiforos CD in ENGLISH, chanted by the nuns, has been well received and much needed.
We have someone willing to translate the Paraklesis and Akathist to Saint Haralambos, YAY. We just have to collect the Greek.
Saint HA - RA - LAM -BOS - It’s not hard to say once you get the hang of it. It means resplendent with JOY. What a beautiful name, what a great Saint and role model for us.
The Revelation series Ebooks are almost ready for our overseas readers.
There is a children’s story in the works and more to follow.

We haven’t written anything in over a year. We probably will never be consistent bloggers but we can do better. The entire Revelation series is finally completed.
The Orthodox Christian Parenting book has been remodeled for the 2nd edition. It’s a beautiful book. However, we have been considering re-printing the “green book” someday. Let us know if you are interested.
So, now what are we up to? We’re making the Revelation series into Ebooks for our international people who can’t seem to get mail or are locked down, especially Australia. Send us your email if you’d like to be notified when they are ready.
Amazon seems to have stopped people from writing reviews for our books. Please tell us how you like the series and new parenting book!
Do we have anyone who would like to do some translating work? Greek to English. Let us know…
God willing, the life of Saint Haralambos, one of the early Saints, will be published in English by Zoë Press. It was translated by the nuns in Meteora, Greece, where his relics are. We’re very excited about that because he is known to help people in times of plague. We are certainly in a time when his prayers are needed!
Obviously, we have a lot to say. If you would like us to write more often let us know.
