Here is a book by a 13 year old deacon whose academic talent and acumen are incredible. The book deals with the Orthodox perspective of the sacrament of repentance and confession based on Scripture and the writings of the Fathers of the Church. Even though Dn. Mihret Melaku's book is addressed to the young members of our Church, it challenges any practicing Christian to genuinely achieve the spiritual benefits of repentance. Moreover, such an impressive book by a very young fellow will serve as a beacon for the youth of his age to follow suit.

The size, depth, scope and content of Deacon Mihret's book , Lost and Found: The Joy of Repentance, make it as timely as it is relevant for our bishops, priests, parents, and church school servants of the Word in the Ethiopian Diaspora, as well as the faithful at home in Ethiopia. Through the mystery of repentance, we can face the real source of all divisions and vulnerabilities. This book provides very practical steps for each person, to "strip off" the old self with its practices and clothe yourself with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its Creator."
