Sing to Your Soul: Vol 1 - Salvation History - Spiritual Meadow - Book
Reading Dr. David Ford's "Sing to Your Soul"- a translation and selection of writings from St. John Chrysostom- has truly been a retreat for my soul. Dr. Ford has carefully chosen and arranged these beautiful writings so that others may see God's perfect divine order throughout the whole of creation, which is continuously leading us back towards our salvation and unity with Him. Reading this book has given me a profound sense of awe at the incomprehensible love Christ has for all mankind, the crown of His creation.
I highly recommend reading this book and keeping it near to be revisited again and again!

This delightfully compact volume combines the accessibility of language with frankness of message that has made St. John Chrysostom dear to readers for generations. David Ford's new translation of selected passages from the "golden-mouthed" preacher's prodigious output preserves the immediacy of the original, bursting with enthusiasm for his listener's ear while remaining economical in the medium of communication.
This volume marks the first of several, particularly focusing on the narrative of salvation history: the creation and fall of Adam, Christ's Incarnation, and man's redemption through the cross, burial, resurrection and ascension of the God-man.
Translated by David C. Ford. Foreword by Rev'd Ignatius Green, Managing Editor of Saint Vladimir's Seminary Press, eloquently introduces the series.
