A rich, compact introduction for modern readers to the Eastern Christian spiritual tradition that has been an inspiration to millions for centuries. Written as personal reflections by the author, and drawing on the spiritual Fathers of the Eastern Church, these essays on self-control and inner peace are meant to lead readers to fuller union with God.
By: Benjamin Williams There probably isn't a single better book to serve as an introduction to the understanding of Eastern Christian spirituality. It is not written as a technical manual, nor as a theological or doctrinal treatment. That, in fact, is what makes it so timelessly great. It was written by a layperson for laypeople who aim to understand and practice their spirituality where they live their lives. It is practical, uplifting and edifying.
