"In this book, Father Charles Joanides uses his gifts of love, spirituality and the ability to listen to describe honestly the lives of interfaith couples in all stages. As a Lutheran who married a Greek Orthodox, I appreciate his sensitivity to all viewpoints and his approach as a family and its spiritual journey. Thank you, Father, for helping us understand our lives with such compassion." Mary Rouvelas, Author, "A Guide to Greek Traditions and Customs in America"
