Hi Mary Cecilia,
We miss you and Justin in msn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Orthodox. As for my favorite Orthodox book, I personally Like Journey to Heaven by St Tikhon of Gdonsk.

My favorite Orthodox books is Orthodox Psychotherapy by Met. Hierotheos, but there are so many more that I like, such as:
Being as Communion by Met. John (Zizioulas)
Imperial Unity and Christian Divisions by Fr. John Meyendorff
Crisis in Byzantium: The Filioque Controversy in the Patrirchate of Gregory II of Cyprus by Ariesteides Papadakis
The Struggle Against Ecumenism by HOCNA (even though I personally am ecumenistically-minded, I read that book and also The Old Calendar Church of Greece and was simply filled with great respect for those who fought for the preservation of Orthodoxy [even though as an ecumenistically-minded person I don't agree with many of their conclusions])
Eustratios Argenti by Bp Kallistos (Ware), all about Greek-Latin relations in the T---ish occupation period
There are many more but I won't list them all!
In Christ,
anastasios
I can't say it's my FAVORITE book, but I am currently reading "The Mountain of Silence-A Search for Orthodox Spirituality" by Kyriacos C. Markides. I thought it was out of print, but I found it at Barnes & Noble. The author travels to Mt. Athos & Cyprus and is "awakened anew" to the greatness of the church.
