Five Orthodox Essentials

[@GrandpaPax]

I bought Way of the Ascetics after you released this video, and I have been reading through it very thoroughly. I just finished it, and I want to thank you so much-the book is beautiful.

[@SuritDasGupta]

It must be so pleasant to read books with all those birds singing in the background.

[@pseudonymman9382]

have you put your crayons down ? then we will debate this don't be an ignorantia...lets hear it?

[@pseudonymman9382]

ignorantia

[@Тертий_В]

I loan “Wounded by Love” to all of the men enquirers we get. Helps temper the urge to go Orthobro, showing love truly is the path of salvation.

[@OrthodoxReview]

Brilliant!

[@AlexKS1992]

I’ll keep your suggestion in mind and get a copy because I’m seriously considering converting but rest assured I’m not a Orthobro, I haven’t been baptized into any religion for that matter.

[@Тертий_В]

@@AlexKS1992I think it’s a must read for every Orthodox Christian, or frankly every person.

[@stevea6207]

My top 5 5) Prologue of Ohrid 4) The Evergetinos 4volume set 3) The Psalter and the Holy Fathers Johanna Manley 2) Unseen Warfare Theophan the Recluse 1) The Ascetical Homilies of Saint Isaac the Syrian 12:05

[@baoduong2203]

Congratulations on your five years here on KZbin. I think I’ve been watching you for at least three years now. Boy have you been through a lot the past few years. Thank you for the books and prayer books that you have shown on the channel. Really admire your joy for prayer and for the books that excite you. I say this as a non-orthodox.

[@Lochaby]

Thanks for the great recommendations!

[@OrthodoxReview]

Thank God!

[@zoepress7190]

Way of the Ascetics! I've read a page of it every day for 30 years. Never gets old.

[@Dwell.within]

Thanks for all the great content brother! The Way of a Pilgrim was my introduction to Orthodoxy as well and is one of those books I will revisit for years to come. Glory to God! ☦️💯🙌 Great to see some old punx and metal nerds on the narrow path 😂💪

Thank you for your TOP 5 BOOKS List

[@OrthodoxAppalachia]

My parish uses the Fr. Sysoev book as our catechism book, but we recently got a bunch of the Slobodskoy book (due to the Sysoev book being rather unavailable). The Sysoev version was the first book I was ever given when I began my catechism years ago and it's been my go-to. Wonderful set of books you've recommended, I need to get me the Wounded by Love book!

[@OrthodoxAppalachia]

Another good book to get is "My Life in Christ" by St. John of Kronstadt. It's his personal diary from when he was a priest, and the subdeacon of my parish recommended it to me. An absolutely worthwhile read!

[@gerardgrywacheski1418]

Congratulations on the fifth anniversary of Orthodox review!! Thank you for your recommendations and book reviews. May God bless you and your channel and grant you many years!!

[@samanthal562]

I’m just reading wounded by love my friend has kindly lent it to me. It really is a must read ❤

[@brotherrob.5999]

Great to see you my brother 🙏 ❤️ God bless you. Rob from Wales ❤️ 🙏

[@TheRomanOrthodox]

Completely agree with Wounded By Love. It saved me from a world of misery as a new Orthodox Christian.

[@coloringthesaints]

I’ve not read Way of the Pilgrim yet, but will have to add it to my list! I’d be happy to send you some of my Orthodox Saints Coloring Books if you’d like to review (or color) them! God bless!

[@OrthodoxReview]

Sure!

[@fuzzi3125]

[@metallicleoraa]

So great to see you today! I like these simple recommendations. I’ve been wondering what book to get, and now I know. Thank you!

[@Rayndrops]

The Evergentinos is on Kindle now for like $6 a volume, so you can ge the whole set for 24 bucks.

[@OrthodoxReview]

Nice

[@halleluyah-v5h]

[@airone50]

I agree the way of the Ascetics has a depth that does not match its size.

[@louisbusta6369]

Many Years. You always do great content brother. (I need to get "The Cross of Loneliness"😉)

This one's demonetized on purpose, the rest of the content is still monetized, though.

Oof-da. Send it back

[@gunzoutnodoubt6627]

@@OrthodoxReview Yes I just ordered one from the church of nativity website instead of the holy trinity supply. They might have stored it in the wrong condition though because I have a old rite prayer book that I just got from them and it's beat up good on the corners even though they packed it extremely well.

WHY ARE THE BOOKS SO EXPENSIVE? a total rip off

[@OrthodoxReview]

Writer/translator, formatting, typesetting, editing, layout and artwork, printing, shipping, cost to seller, and not to mention marketing, merchandising, advertising. And that's BEFORE even considering a profit margin.
