Frederica Mathewes-Green in First Fruits of Prayer brings readers from all backgrounds of the Christian faith into the history and experience of the first 1000 years of Christendom. By guiding readers through the Canon of St. Andrew, Greene shows how ancient believers worshipped Christ while using this great poetic eighth-century hymn, still chanted in the Eastern church during Lent. This insightful book is ideal for use during the Lenten season, but can be read throughout the year for enriching your prayers and enhancing your Christian spirituality.
