the way of a pilgrim

[Rhamiel]

has anyone read this book?
i just started it as a book i want to read for advent
I really like it a lot so far

Indeed, an Orthodox classic. I like the dialogues in the latter portion of the book the most.

I keep wanting to purchase it, alas I am having to closely monitor my spending (which I'm not always great at), due to my not having a decent paying job. It is on my list though of things I'd like to get when I am actually earning enough to have some more free cash.

A truly edifying book. Changed my life in some areas

 

[Christos Anesti]

I hear you. I used to spend 30 to 40 a week on books but now that I'm laid off I've been reduced to re-reading old books and going to the library .

You might be able to find it in PDF format to download as a torrent.

What is with all these wide posts? CF must be hiccuping again.

Hey Christos,

It is not a bad idea to reread old books. I am reading CS Lewis' Space Trilogy for the 3rd or 4th time, I have lost track, but it has so much theological stuff in it that I can read it a 5th or 6th time and still marvel.

The Way of the Pilgrim is also a book that you can reread and like the Holy Scriptures, never really plumb the depths. I am not equating it with the Bible, but there are a lot of references to the Bible that shed new light.

 

[Khaleas]

The book that convinced me that I was on the right track in converting to Orthodoxy. I really need to re-read it, I will probably see it in different light now when I have a bit of a clue about the faith.

I read it a while back and really liked it.

Have heard of that one, but haven't purchased or read it yet. Need to add that to my reading list.

I've read many books but that one..I will soon..Help me out...when reading i have a hard time finding a comfortable, focused spot. how do you all read? at a table..in A CHAIR? lying, back slouched or upright. Weird question, and i love reading, but suggestions help

 

[Protoevangel]

One of my favorites.

I used to read a lot while I was walking and that way I didn't fall asleep. Just have to make sure you use your periphrial vision so you don't walk into things lol. Now I just drink some expresso first. Something about reading makes me fall asleep for some reason.

I used to read technical manuals when I walked around at work. Same reason.

I used to read a lot on public transportation. About the only time I have to read anything other than school textbooks now is in bed, before falling asleep.

I'm typically in a corner at Starbucks an hour before work.

My catechism teacher just gave me this book to read, I am so excited because I've heard it's awesome.

I've been wanting to read this for awhile, but I could never find it. It's never in stock in the bookstores near me, and it's not in any of my public libraries either =( I looked online too, but only found it in Russian.
