Johanna Manley has designed a daily devotional suitable for the general reader. Based on the sequence of daily scriptural readings (NKJV) from the liturgical calendar of the Orthodox Christian Church, The Bible and the Holy Fathers for Orthodox: Daily Scripture Readings and Commentary for Orthodox Christians includes comments from the church fathers on each Epistle and Gospel passage. There also are many sections of the Old Testament to support the church lectionary for major feast days, Great Lent, and Holy Week. Additionally, writings from contemporary Orthodox theologians and scholars are included. In a magnificent way, the life and tradition of the Church inform the reader's personal meditations on Scripture and attune the reader to the annual, rhythmic cycle of fasts and feasts. Other books on Scripture published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press include: Grace for Grace: The Psalter and the Holy Fathers, compiled and edited by Johanna Manley ; Jesus Christ and the Temple, by Georges A. Barrois; and The Gospel Image of Christ, by Veselin Kesich.
