The books
Three volumes — Come and See, Follow Me, Abide in Me — fifty-two weeks each. Encounter, then discipleship, then communion.
Nothing here is softened. The parables are quoted whole, never cut before the ending. The Fathers are quoted even where they disagree with the modern reading. And where a well-loved detail could not be verified, it was cut — and the book says so, in print.

What is on this site
A free week
Week one in full, exactly as it is printed: John 1:35–39, the Greek, Chrysostom, and the practice for the seven days.
Weekly trivia
Ten questions, a new set each week, written by someone who has done this professionally for eighteen years. No sign-up.
Why a week and not a morning
A page for the morning is read and forgotten by lunch. A week is long enough for a saying to become inconvenient — long enough to run into the person you are supposed to forgive, or the money you are supposed to be less careful about, or the silence you said you would keep and did not.
So each reading gives you one passage and seven days. The passage is printed in full. Then four things: what the Greek actually says, how the Church has read it for two thousand years, where it lands in a week that includes your job and your family, and one practice small enough to actually do.
They ask Him for an address and He does not give them one. He gives them an afternoon.
There are no calendar dates in any of the three volumes. You can begin in any week of any year.
Every royalty builds a church
St Porphyrios Orthodox Mission in Clayton, Ontario has no building of its own. It borrows other people's. Every royalty from all three volumes goes toward changing that — and that line is printed on the back of each book, not just on this page.
