Although Orthodox books are usually ok- I would love to support Eastern Catholic endeavors. It seems like we are always using Roman-rite materials and Orthodox materials- the most important thing for me- a book of the hours. Does an English language Byzantine Catholic version exist?

Don't the Melkites have one? For some reason, I thought they do from Sophia Press.

Really? I've never seen one... I looked a while back, to no avail.

Just went to the Sophia Press Catalog and found the following:

The Horologion New Edition A new revised, expanded second edition of the Horologion.

Thanks to the devoted and assiduous work of Rev. Father Michael Skrocki, the new Horologion contains the entire Divine Office, as in the first edition, plus (almost 300 pages added): the daily troparia and kontakia for each day of the year from the Menaion; the Akathist and Paraklesis; the Paschal Hour; and an expanded music section which includes, along with the music for each tone, the service music for Vespers, Orthros, and Akathist.

Same style and size as the first edition; leather-bound, gold edges, 7 silk ribbons.

Black leather-bound edition sells for $60.

Thank you so much- if I ever won the lotto (not that I play)- I would publish Eastern catholic books- starting with picture books for kids

In 18 years of publishing, Eastern Christian Publications has produced over 200 titles which are available from an online catalog at www.ecpubs.com. About 2/3 of them are "Eastern Catholic", including a whole series of a dozen icon coloring books ("picture books"?) and three children's prayer booklets. Titles also include theology, spirituality, liturgy, history, biography, ecumenism, prayer books and more.

Mr Figel- Do you need any new authors?

Thanks for the link- I think I know where I am going to spend my Christmas money

Dear Tamiian,

I am always willing to consider good manuscripts on interesting topics for publication, either as monographs or as article in *Eastern Churches Journal*. You can submit ideas or send text drafts to us at info@ecpubs.com.
