The Way of the Ascetics
by T. Colliander

If there is a single book that should be read to gain an understanding of Eastern Orthodox spirituality, this is it. Though small, simple and meditative in its format, it packs an existential punch. Tito Colliander, a layman, draws directly from many of the spiritual fathers of the Eastern church, and clearly demonstrates a deep and personal experience of the subject he describes. Better yet, he writes in a very accessible and understandable manner, and each subject is treated in a short chapter that serves admirably as a daily meditation, especially during Great Lent.
