Has anyone read "Our Orthodox Christian Faith" by Athanasios Frangopoulos? It's the textbook for my class in Orthodoxy at the church. It's perhaps a bit dated, but it is very readable and pretty clear in its explanations.

I have. It was given to me to read as a catechumen. Though I had a hard time understanding it the first time through.
