Short Trip to the Edge: Where Earth Meets Heaven--A Pilgrimage   Author: Cairns, Scott
Publisher: Harper Collins

Format:Hardcover
List Price:$22.95 - Our Price:$12.99 USD

While walking on the beach with his Labrador, poet and literature professor Scott Cairns ran headlong into his midlife crisis. Cairns realized that his spiritual life was moving at a snail's pace and time was running out. This crisis launched Cairns on a search for what it means to have a "prayer life," leading him to set out on a spiritual journey to the mystical Greek peninsula of Mount Athos. With a humorous yet humble voice and a poet's exquisite prose, Cairns immerses his readers in the history and power of the holy mountain and the faith of the monks who worship there.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this book (several times in fact!). Scott's writing afforded me a look into the blessed life on the Holy Mountain, and answered many questions I had about the the monastic life and seeking a spiritual guide.   A great read! Chotki Steve

The Story of the Birth of Christ for children & the whole family. Celebrated around the world at Christmas, is one of the most beautiful in the New Testament.

Drawing on his classical training at the Stroganov Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow and on his Orthodox Christian faith, Mr. Spirin has created a work of art to be passed from generation to generation.
