"The catechist is a teacher of Christian neophytes. It might seem a straightforward task to teach basics to new Christians, but in our time when all narratives are being contested, none can be taken for granted. Thus, especially now, part of the task of the catechist is to take as little for granted as possible. For some, this time of contest means an almost hopeless future lies ahead, with Christendom declining around us. But for Dr. Zachary Porcu in Journey to Reality, taking nothing for granted means the possibility of presenting a clear, hopeful framework for the core of thinking and behaving as Christians. Both catechists and new (or renewed) Christians will want this accessible book to help guide their way."
— Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick

"An inquirer into Christianity could read a dozen works on the faith and still not encounter the insights found in this genial gem of a book."
— Dn. Nicholas Dujmovic

"...an Orthodox version of Mere Christianity—concise, clear and profound. An instant classic."
— David Hanegraaff

"...a refrershing and accessible style of writing...remarkably concise... The book will open new vistas on Orthodoxy for those already experienced with the faith, and it will help inquirers appreciate the heavenly riches that await them in the Church."
— Fr. John Strickland

"Dr. Zac Porcu...has immersed himself both in the Holy Fathers and in the humanist Zeitgeist. As such, he is able to competently assist God-seekers in bridging the gap from the emptiness of post-Christian culture to the mind of the Church."
— Fr. Josiah Trenham
