Father Anthony Administrator Member Registered: 02/16/05 Posts: 3404 Loc: New York	Originally Posted By: Prester John Has anyone seen it yet? Nope! We called all-over creation, including St. Vlad's Bookstore, Light and Life, etc., and no one seems to have them in stock as of yet, though they are expecting them soon. In IC XC, Father Anthony+ _________________________ Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

Marina Karlovna Junior Member Registered: 11/30/07 Posts: 20 Loc: Washington	I don't suppose the big bookstores will open at midnight for the crowds that will be lining up to buy like folks did for the Harry Potter books. Hmmm . . . what does that say about our priorities.

Terry Bohannon Member Registered: 05/15/07 Posts: 2232 Loc: Houston, TX USA	I believe that our priorities could use some grace in how we spend our leisure time. It is easy to spend two or three hours a day "on rest", watching TV or pursuing spiritually unproductive ends on the Internet. It is good to ask ourselves "does [this] help me in my pursuit of Christ's Love?" We can take that to the extreme, but self-sacrifice in pursuit of God's ways is a virtue. Terry

monksilouan Member Registered: 11/11/01 Posts: 543 Loc: tornado alley	I called Conciliar Press yesterday and they will send me a leather bound edition at the end of this month (Feb.) They told me that hard copies can be sent now. There is a 20% discount for ordering it now. I think the total price for the leather edition was about $72 with shipping. I expect this edition to out live me (or I will want my money back!). Silouan, Mary's monk and certainly NOT a Scripture scholar

Prester John Member Registered: 01/10/08 Posts: 218 Loc: USA	I just picked up my copy Sunday. Not bad, all in all. A few disappointments, but that is related to my own preferences, and a few changes from the original plans. For example, 4 Maccabees is no longer included in the appendix. It was slated to be included originally. Now I have to change my BIBLE DRILL material at http://interiorstrength.com. Edited by Prester John (02/19/08 11:04 AM)

Prester John Member Registered: 01/10/08 Posts: 218 Loc: USA	4 Maccabees was included in the Septuagint OT, but always in an appendix. It extols the value of pious virtue over the passions. I saw both the text and the notes that would have been in the OSB, and they were excellent. At the OSB workshop, it was on the list of books, so it was slated for inclusion, but, alas, did not make the final cut.

AdsumJDS Member Registered: 10/23/07 Posts: 64 Loc: Texas	I am confused... Amazon and others still say it is not out yet and will not be out until June. Why is that?

lanceg Member Registered: 08/19/06 Posts: 789 Loc: Minneapolis	I have got to say, that is quite a disappointment that 4th Maccabees did not make the final cut. very disappointing. Blessings, Lance A Byzantine Christian in a Postmodern World

The only passing score is 100%, and all quizzes are cumulative. It's been running for 4 years now. Here's the site: http://bibledrill.blogspot.com
