Product Description

Out of print.

A middle grade chapter book with black-and-white illustrations. You close your eyes and think about Alaska, what do you see? Eskimos and igloos? Mountains of snow? Polar bears and icebergs? Do you know that not all Alaskan natives are Eskimos? There are many different tribes of native peoples. Each has its own language and way of life. Many of these native peoples have been Orthodox Christians for over two hundred years. This is largely due to the missionary efforts of one man, St. Innocent of Alaska. He converted and baptized thousands of people into the Christian faith. He was a wonderful and godly man who lived a missionary life full of adventures that you would never dream of! Many people think he is the greatest Christian missionary of all time. 

About the Author Sarah Elizabeth Cowie's fiction, non-fiction, and poetry have appeared in such magazines as Christianity Today, Messenger of St. Anthony, The Orthodox Word and The Handmaiden. She has three other books: The Abbot and I: As Told by Josie the Cat, (Conciliar Press), a chapter book of poetry called Season of Hope published by Noetic Press, and More Spirited Than Lions: An Orthodox Response to Feminism and a Practical Guide to the Spiritual Life of Women, published by Regina Orthodox Press.
