Author
and priest Stavros N. Akrotirianakis seeks to explain significant Gospel
stories in language everyone can understand in Let Us Be Attentive: Reflections
on the Sunday and Feast Day Scripture Readings of the Orthodox Church ($29.49,
paperback, 9781545681718; $9.99, e-book, 9781545681725). He believes in Christians using their talents
for God’s glory, and he is using his to ensure that Bible readers understand
what they read.
Reading Scripture is a necessary part of any believer’s life,
but we must also take care to be mindful of what we read and to put it into
practice daily.
“We
attend to many things in our lives,
most of them material in nature. We don't take the time to attend to spiritual
things. When we are attentive to our spiritual lives through the reading of
God's Word, it gives us a more sure foundation, a greater sense of purpose and
hope on a daily basis,” said Akrotirianakis.
Fr. Stavros N. Akrotirianakis has served as a Greek
Orthodox priest for over twenty years. He currently serves St. John the Baptist
Greek Orthodox Church in Tampa, FL, where he lives with his wife, Lisa, and
their son, Nicholas. He is the author of three books: Let All Creation Rejoice:
Reflections on Advent, the Nativity, and Epiphany; The Road Back to Christ:
Reflections on Lent, Holy Week and the Resurrection; and Blessed
is the Kingdom: Reflections on the Divine Liturgy. He also writes a
daily inspirational reflection called "The Prayer Team".
