Would you like to contribute to the publishing of an SVS Press book?
Each year St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press publishes and distributes quality, spiritually enriching Orthodox Christian material leading readers to a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church.
Our books are underwritten by generous benefactors who understand the power of the printed word. As an added bonus, all SVS Press profits support the transformational ministry of St Vladimir's Seminary.
SVS Press is about to print a new book, and you can help make this happen.
Well-loved author the Very Rev. Patrick Henry Reardon writes books that are page-turners, and his new title Biblical Prayer and Piety is bound to be a classic.
In the Church the word piety is used frequently, but what does it really mean? To answer this question, Fr. Patrick introduces us to heroes like Righteous Joseph the Patriarch, who learned how to remain faithful while living as a stranger in a strange land.
He then traces divine Providence at work in the lives of other exemplary figures in scripture such as Deborah, Abigail, Job, and various New Testament greats.
Throughout the work, Fr. Patrick delves deeply into biblical texts while also referencing the readings and interpretations of a wide range of Church Fathers both East and West.
St Vladimir's Seminary and SVS Press invite you to participate in this exciting project: any gift amount will go toward its publication.

Fr. Patrick, retired pastor of All Saints Orthodox Church in Chicago, has authored many books including Romans: An Orthodox Commentary and Revelation: A Liturgical Prophecy (SVS Press). He’s also published hundreds of articles and essays and is a popular podcaster.
