I write as an Anglican increasingly impressed and stirred by contact with present and previous Orthodox thought:
I am only at the start of my spiritual journey with this book, but am finding it incredibly rich, faith-suffused and thought-provoking.
Some of the deep symbolism can feel strange to those from other traditions, and the different authors' styles can produce differing effects, but there is a lot of seed-bearing and enriching fruit here for any Christian trying to live a more faithful life; or for anyone simply exploring the faith who fears that Christianity, especially in the West, is in danger of losing touch with its spirituality and its roots.
As I've said, I haven't finished yet, so feel free to ignore all the above!
I pray that you enjoy this book, and find it profoundly helpful.
