The Liturgy For Teens

The Liturgy For Teens by Meena Awad helps teenagers understand and enjoy the Divine Liturgy, for Sunday school classes, youth groups and individual reading.

The Liturgy brings God, humanity and the world together. It is a mini incarnation, an incarnation of sound, smell, taste and touch. In the Orthodox Church, salvation comes through union and intimacy with God, and this finds its greatest expression in the Liturgy. The Eucharist is the moment where past and future come together in the present, where heaven and earth are one, and God wraps His arms around His children.

Sometimes the Liturgy can feel confusing, even boring, and we are often told, "When you understand, you will love it." This book does not try to explain every detail of the Liturgy; that could fill a library. Instead, it shares a few of the many gems the Liturgy offers, to help those who struggle to connect with God and one another through the Eucharist, and to show what we miss when we do not understand it.

Full of illustrations, fun facts and sayings of the Church Fathers, it works well for personal reading or as a resource for class discussion.
