An excellent idea, and I think it should have it's own section. Thank you for suggesting this.

Well, since we already have over 20 people that definately want to do this, I will gather some links when I get home from work later tonight and announce the book. I am very excited about the response to this idea and if the strong interest remains, perhaps we could do a book for every Liturgical season with the next books being during the Pascha and Pentecost seasons, respectively.
I have checked with the publisher of the book and he has plenty of copies, so we should be good to go. Links will be to both the publisher as well as to various stores that sell the book. I will try and find international bookstores carrying the book as well if possible. But for sure will have 2 sources that I know currently stock the book. Announcing it and giving links tonight should give everyone about 2 weeks to obtain the book if everyone wants to start reading it during Clean Week. Thank you again to everyone for the great response!

Okay, here we go .. Announcing the book!!!
The book is "The Royal Way of the Cross of Our Lord - Leading to Eternal Life" by Saint John (Maximovitch I) of Chernigov, originally published by the Optina Monastery!
It is available from the publisher, Monastery Press in Canada at http://www.monasterypress.com/presstitles.html and they will ship to the USA and anywhere in the world.
It is also available at the Church of the Nativity Online Bookstore in America at https://securehost7.hrwebservices.net/~cotn/shopping/
It is also available at the Blagochestie Russian Book store at http://www.blagochestie.org/bookstore.htm and http://www.blagochestie.org/books/103.htm
Please order quickly so everyone can have their book by Clean Week. By Clean Monday I will open up the new section for new posts with a thread started for every chapter. There are a lot of chapters but they are short enough to be manageable I think. If you do a chapter a day it could fill your Great Lent with spiritual reading for every day!
I am sure you will all enjoy this book and please let the retailers you choose that you found out about the book and their store from EuphrosynosCafe.com

Well, I thought that I was being notified of updates, but I guess I forgot to check the box! I'll order the book as soon as pay-day rolls around (I think that will be Tuesday...). This should be fun.
I have to say, though, I often find it hard to apply a lot of these books to my life, being a soldier. Army life just isn't the same as the every day life of the laity. I'm sure it will be fullfilling though.
