I just went to the library and got "The Orthodox Way" by Bishop Kallistos; "Sacred Doorways: A Beginner's Guide to Icons", and a biography of St. Justin Martyr. That should keep me busy for a while, dontcha think?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

One of the prime gateway books for my generation of converts was The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church by Vladimir Lossky.

St. Justin Martyr was the first of the Apostolic Fathers which I began to read while in College. Once I started reading the Apostolic Fathers I was started down the long road which would lead me to Orthodoxy. Justin in particular is a favorite as he has a very early reference to the eucharist in one of his apologies.

I just started a little book called Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of Heaven, by Saint Innocent of Moscow.
I just finished a teeny-weeny book called Pascha Transforms Wolfman Tom that I absolutely loved! My son is reading it now.
Next, I will probably start on Kindling the Divine Spark by St. Theophan the Recluse.
