In reading 'Glorified in America', I was deeply moved by the stories of faith and perseverance shared throughout its pages. As a Greek Orthodox Christian, I found a profound connection to the lives of these saints who labored tirelessly in the New World. Their struggles reflect the challenges many of us face today, yet their unwavering faith serves as a guiding light. This book not only honors their legacy but also inspires contemporary believers to continue their work in spreading the Gospel. The author beautifully captures the essence of our tradition and the richness of our heritage. It is a reminder of our roots and a call to live out our faith actively. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Orthodox Christianity in America and to be encouraged by the examples of these holy laborers.
