Orthodox icon of Saint Maximos, Maximus the Confessor.

Commemorated January 21.

This is the Orthodox icon of Saint Maximus the Confessor who was born in Constantinople around 580 and raised in a pious Christian family. He received an excellent education, studying philosophy, grammar, and rhetoric.u00a0He held a position as the personal secretary to Heraclius has been taken as an indication that Maximus was born into Byzantine nobility. Saint Maximus left public life and took monastic vows at the monastery of Philippicus in Chrysopolis, a city across the Bosporus from Constantinople.

He was the greatest defender of Orthodoxy against the so-called Monothelite heresy, which developed from the heresy of Eutyches. That is to say: as Eutyches asserted that there is in Christ only one nature, so the Monothelites asserted that there is in Him only one will. Maximus resisted this assertion and found himself in opposition to both the Emperor and the Patriarch. But he was unafraid, and persevered to the end in proving that there are in the Lord two natures and therefore also two wills. By his efforts, one Council in Carthage and one in Rome stood firm, and both these Councils anathematized the Monothelite teaching.

When Emperor Constans II received the decisions of the Council, he gave orders to arrest St Maximus. He was accused of treason and locked up in prison. The saint and two of his disciples were subjected to the cruelest torments. Each one's tongue was cut out, and his right hand was cut off. Then they were exiled to Skemarum in Scythia, enduring many sufferings and difficulties on the journey. Ultimately, Maximus was exonerated by the Sixth Ecumenical Council and recognized as a Father of the Church.

Not Durable…Splintered….
Had to chuck these. I loved them at first but they are not durable. Scratched themselves up right away and then the mid sized one started to splinter. I didn’t even have it for very long before I had to get rid of them. Long enough to not be able to return. I prefer the bamboo as far as wood goes, but switched to an antibacterial. It’s crazy because I had the same cutting boards for years and in the past month I’ve had to replace them 3 times now. I was so disappointed because there were such amazing reviews. Sadly that was not the case for me. I give it a 3 because they are absolutely beautiful…..you get points for being beautiful I suppose in this world. But not durable. At least not for me.

This is Mike Wittmer at his finest
Format: Paperback
If you are at all familiar with Mike Wittmer's books and devotionals, you know he has a sharp wit and an engaging style. This book delivers both in abundance. With clarity and conciseness, Mike walks through 40 well-known theological concepts popular among Americans. Although he writes from an Evangelical perspective, Mike brings his trademark honest critique to each topic, admitting his own biases while still highlighting the validity of other viewpoints. His explanations, critiques, and examples will make you laugh and think, and I truly believe this book would make a great basis for a Sunday school or other church education series.

Fortunate to buy this book
Format: Kindle
Fantastic book, packed with well written information and interspersed with humor. Well worth the price, I will now have to look for more of Wittmer's works, and hope he has more coming in the fashion of this one. This is the 3rd Urban Legends of the bible Ive read in the series and also the best.

The Editorial Company Wolters Kluwer and VitalSource
Format: Hardcover
I was looking forward to my textbook which arrived in great condition. I needed to activate the ebook and it was a disaster. I could not redeem my code for unclear reasons, I called the number in the textbook which took me to an India location, answered by someone who could not enter my e-mail correctly, and ended having to create a ticket. I was told I had to wait 24-48 hours to resolve the issue. I called the Editorial company and they were not able to help stating it was not their issue. It has been very frustrating. I bought 6 medical books from Elsevier, all of them redeemed as I received them, immediately activated. No hassles at all. Big difference in services between editorial companies and digital resources
