Obsidian Orchids is a field guide for living covenant life in public. Written from Catholic and Evangelical roots, and shaped by a peaceable Restorationist vision of Zion, this book asks what holiness looks like when it grows hands. Across twelve lyrical lessons, Attila Takacs explores mercy, Sabbath, childhood, money, truth-telling, suffering, and communal responsibility through reflection, story, and concrete practice. Drawing on Scripture, the church's long memory, and carefully framed engagement with 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and the Book of Mormon, this work invites readers beyond religious performance into ordinary faithfulness. It is a book for those who want depth without theater, mysticism without spectacle, and a form of discipleship sturdy enough to nourish both the wounded and the hopeful.
