Have you ever stepped into an Orthodox church and felt a sense of wonder mixed with confusion, wondering about the meaning behind the candles, the incense, or the ancient rituals? A Book About the Church serves as an essential, accessible guide to the beauty of the Divine Service, designed specifically for the modern person navigating a fast-paced life. Written by a liturgical expert who is also a successful entrepreneur, the book offers a refreshingly clear and concise approach to complex spiritual traditions without losing their historical depth. You will find practical answers to everyday questions—from proper etiquette and "how-to" guides for various life situations to deep dives into the All-Night Vigil and the Divine Liturgy. https://orthodoxbookshop.asia/catalogue/a-book-about-the-church_378/

We are about to begin new project - publushing of Chinese edition of "The Icon: Truth and Fables"
by Irina Gorbunova-Lomax

"The most provocative examination of sacred art in our age –
debunking romanticised 'authenticity' while confronting the clash between faith and artistic tradition."

In the late 1990s, while working at Mother N.'s icon workshop in Karelia, the author encountered a revelatory paradox: a French journalist, having journeyed deep into the Russian wilderness in search of "true iconographers", found herself appalled by reality. Her preconceptions – grinding minerals by hand, prohibiting shadows, fasting for forty days before painting – collided violently with actual Orthodox practice.

This absurd yet profound encounter became a metaphor for Europe's manufactured myths about "Russian icons". Combining art-historical rigour with a practitioner's insight, the book dismantles pervasive falsehoods: from "inverse perspective" to "clay-coloured saints' faces", from pseudo-theological dictates to how amateur daubs become sanctified as "holy art".

"We defend not tradition, but authenticity – against invented traditions."

Drawing on her teaching experience in Belgium, the author delivers both sharp critique and wry humour. More than a technical guide, this is a battle for truth: when spirituality is reduced to ritual and art to dogma, how does one recognise genuine sanctity?

▍ Critical Praise
"A rare synthesis! Equal parts masterclass in iconography and devastating critique of spiritual posturing." — Historian of Orthodox Art

▍ For Readers Who
・Seek clarity amid iconographic confusion
・Appreciate cultural collisions in sacred art
・Question where tradition ends and fabrication begins

"When all speak of 'the spiritual',
what we most require are eyes clear enough to see the material truth."
