The Tools of Theosis

The tools of Theosis (becoming like God) are made available not only to special saints or monastics but given to all Christians when they are baptized and chrismated. This book explores the countless tools that our Lord has placed at our disposal to enable us to move from being created in His image to becoming like Him.

The Goal of Theosis

Orthodox Christians refer to this movement as Theosis (deification or Christification) and it is the goal of every Orthodox person. Faith is not something to be intellectually understood as much as it is something that must be experienced and lived.

Understanding God

God is not a concept or an idea to be argued about but the Creator with Whom we commune and emulate. "Taste and see that the Lord is good," said the psalmist. To be deified is to enable God to be born in ourselves. ~ Dionysius the Areopagite.
