Seek First the Kingdom is a profound guide to the Orthodox faith. It is high theology made understandable and accessible as Father Cornel takes his readers lovingly by the hand and gently invites them to participate in a genuine dialogue with what it means to be an Orthodox Christian. These remarkable anecdotal stories are about his encounters with the faith in all of its aspects, such as fasting, prayer, worship and almsgiving and his encounters with other people, from Bishops to the laity. His essays, which reveal his own positive outlook and love for life, for others and for God, shine with the light of the Holy Spirit. Father Cornel teaches us about the faith, about ourselves and what we must do daily to keep on the right path. Moreover, he makes us aware that our journey towards Salvation lies in the way we live our everyday lives. This book is a gem and should be read by everyone: the novice, the pioneer of the faith and those who simply want to learn more about Orthodox Christianity.
