Virtue is easy. Vice is hard.
A Yoke that is Easy and a Burden that is Light
This site is a showcase of creative works and writing by Jonathan Hayward that have been collected for well over a decade. The sections of the site About (includes What's New?), the Book Store, Et Cetera, and an online library featuring Orthodox Books and More.
Orthodox Books and More: This collection includes Eastern Orthodox Christian theology, and literature. It is by far the largest section of this website, and possibly the most interesting.
The collection includes smaller sections of Orthodox theology, articles, assorted creations, journals, miscellaneous nonfiction, novels, Orthodox humor, satire, short stories, Socratic dialogue, and technology. If you're looking for a place to explore, why not begin with one of these links?
About: About the author Jonathan Hayward, and this site, which is his pride and joy. Includes a list of What's New?
Book Store: Many of the works here are good on a computer and even better in a book. (The eBooks are free, and you can read them online for free.) Includes works that received a five star review with the Midwest Book Review): The Christmas Tales, A Cord of Seven Strands, Doxology, Firestorm 2034, The Sign of the Grail, The Steel Orb, and Yonder.
Et Cetera: A motley collection of artwork, games, humor, open source software, a role playing game, web services, and other miscellaneous works.
Site Map: A map of Jonathan's Corner. Broken down by subject.
As over a decade has gone by, Orthodox Books and More has grown to be much more than one section of the website among others. It has several sections of its own, and it has become the crowning jewel of the site, with a great many of its author's favorite works.
Treasure is not measured in dollars
I would like to begin by telling a story. I was in a medical waiting room for a medical test, when a mother came in, pulling along a little girl by the hand, and taking care of the paperwork. The child had, by the looks of it, slammed her thumb in a door or something similar: there was a dark purple bulge under her thumbnail. I remembered when that had happened to me, and I was not a happy camper. No wonder the little girl was bawling her eyes out!
