Our History & Mission
 Light and Life began very quietly in 1966 without any inkling of some day becoming a major Orthodox Publishing Company. It was launched with its first publication of "Eastern Orthodoxy: A Way of Life" by Anthony Coniaris. While the author had no plans to write this book (or any book for that matter) in hindsight, it is quite clear that God had other plans. The book came about due to the relentless promptings of a retired school teacher who exhorted her local priest to compile his sermons in book form for others’ spiritual benefit. Slowly, other publications followed. Over time, more than 200 titles have been published by Light and Life. Additionally, a host of booklets and pamphlets on various topics have also been printed.
The first catalog covered a total of eight pages. Our catalog now covers more than 200 pages and contains all of our publications in addition to a treasure trove of titles on Orthodoxy by a variety of Orthodox sources. Also included are Bibles, Prayer Books, Icons, Byzantine jewelry, gift items, worship items, note cards, children’s material, cookbooks, software, CDs, audio, religious education materials and more.
We have felt God’s hand on this company from the beginning and because of this our mission at Light and Life is to:
Increase the personal knowledge of Jesus Christ and His Church through the written word, to serve our customers efficiently, and to bring ultimate glory to the life-giving Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
From its humble beginnings, now almost 40 years later, Light and Life is one of the largest Orthodox Distributors in the world. We believe that this is due to God’s grace and your patronage. Although the future is a blank page yet to be written, we look forward with hope, determined to fulfill our goal of honoring our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
