FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 15, 2009 NEIGHBORS, STRANGERS AND EVERYONE ELSE by Rev. Fr. John-Brian Paprock

MADISON, WI — NEIGHBORS, STRANGERS AND EVERYONE ELSE is a unique book and collection of insightful and inspiring words on topics of co-existence from Rev. Fr. John-Brian Paprock. The book is due for release December 2009 and this is an advance notice with pre-ordering information included.

This book covers the topics of personal and interpersonal issues, the religious and the secular, as well as friends and enemies as topics of concern in modern society. It deals directly with the issues presented by living in a global society with a unique Christian perspective.

From early reviews of Neighbors, Strangers and Everyone Else:

"This is an amazing body of work -- not just the compilation itself, but the witness over a number of years that Fr. John-Brian has made to understanding and outreach as a way of life which it represents," wrote Alexander Patico of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship of North America. "I was able to learn a great deal from what Fr. John-Brian wrote and to get to know Fr. John-Brian and his thought -- Fr. John-Brian certainly has progressed as time went on, in his powers of expression and his profundity."

"Fr. John-Brian is an excellent communicator. He has a way with words and ideas. I think this work will be a great contribution to inter-religious dialog. Autobiographical element makes it appealing," wrote John Kunnathu, founder of the worldwide Gregorian Study Circle, founded in honor and memory of H.G. Paulos Mar Gregorios, Indian Orthodox bishop of New Delhi.

The book is divided into five parts: 1 – FAITH AND INTERFAITH; 2 – HUMAN RIGHTS; 3 – FRIENDS AND ENEMIES; 4 – WAR AND PEACE; 5 – NON-VIOLENCE FROM A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE

A collection of pastoral reflections and spiritual guidance this book, by an Orthodox Christian, is written by for a broad audience of believers and non-believers. The author uses snippets from everyday life - birthdays, bumper stickers, the sight of a rainbow - and church holidays through the year, bringing the reader into Orthodox thought while keeping a firm grasp on life in contemporary America. His message is timeless and true, wherever and whenever it is read. "What a wonderful book. I am reading through the chapters, one at a time rather than reading them through all at once. The three I have read, and the others I have cheated and taken a quick look at are really enjoyable and helpful. I will try to integrate reading these chapters with my normal daily spiritual practices. I will certainly recommend this to others." ~ Fr. Peter Farrington, British Orthodox Fellowship
