The title of this book reflects not only our commission to be apostles; it reflects five core values–love, worship, community, learning and service–that will help us fulfill this commission.

Father Stavros N. Akrotirianakis teaches readers how to be apostles for Christ in Commissioned to be Apostles: Love, Worship, Community, Learning, Service ($32.49, paperback, 9781662842351; $9.99, e-book, 9781662842368).

Father Akrotirianakis draws from his years of experience in ministry to walk readers through the impact Christ can have on their lives, and how they can share that impact with others. Through 151 short reflections, he takes new Christians (and old ones) and shows them practical ways to actively participate in the Church and fulfill the Great Commission along with a local congregation, and alone when necessary.

“The title of this book reflects not only our commission to be apostles; it reflects five core values–love, worship, community, learning and service–that will help us fulfill this commission,” said Akrotirianakis.
