Really good for inquirers in the Orthodox faith
A very good introduction to Orthodox Spirituality "Ithas been my experience that there are millions of committed Christians inProtestant Churches who sincerely love God with all their hearts but whoalso have discovered that the Christian life is often...a battle againstsin.They...are frustrated because they aren't winning what they believeshould be their share of those spiritual wars.It is my conviction that inthe depth of Orthodox theology and spirituality, new--actually,old--answers may be found." (page xi) Beginning with an assessmentof the battle all Christians have been called to fight, Fr. Jon then turnsto basic Orthodox theology regarding the Trinity, the Incarnation, etc. asthe foundation for our struggle in this battle.Finally, he explains thetools, or weapons, we may use to fight the good fight such as prayer,fasting, almsgiving, and living a virtuous life.These tools have beenused in and encouraged by the Church for 2000 years.They are"time-tested".Fr. Jon writes:"We don't have toexperiment.The Church now has two thousand years of battle knowledgebehind her.We can trust what she's learned..." (p. 146) I highlyrecommend this book as a good, solid introduction to basic Orthodoxspirituality.It is well-written in a common language which anyone canunderstand.After one has read this book, I would also recommend ORTHODOXSPIRITUALITY: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION by Bishop of Nafpaktos Hierotheos(published by Birth of the Theotokos Monastery). The below review of thisbook is very misleading. DIVINE ENERGIES has nothing to do with cruelty toanimals.

Great for the Orthodox Novice
Very Useful
we all have time to pray, or else we shouldn't breathe
Worth the price for the introduction alone The prayers in the book are taken from an ancient Greek liturgical document - lateeighth century i.e. before the Catholic-Orthodox split.Parenti hasselected from this document prayers for the liturgical hours (DivineOffice, Breviary).The prayers are clearly saturated with a Scripturalorientation - phrases and images consistently taken from the Bible.Theprayers are chosen to clearly illustrate the orientation of each hour - 3rdhours to Pentecost, 9th hour to nailing Christ to the cross etc. Thesetraits are useful - but the beauty and doctrinal soundness of the prayersthemselves make the book one to be treasured.

Great book!
An Evangelical Investigating Christian Roots
A good primer for those interested in Orthodoxy
An Interesting and Clear Presentation of Orthodox Theology Some of the topics include The Church, Jesus, the Nicene Creed, Icons, Sacraments (i.e. mysteries), Prayer, and the Bible. Coniaris' tone is non-polemical, and he does not condemn others as he lauds the Orthodox faith. This is in contrast to Frank Schaeffer's writings, which are also intended for those discovering Orthodoxy. In some ways all 215 pages of this book read like a historical Christian commentary on major themes, because the writings and wisdom of the ancient Church are generously quoted. However, Coniaris does keep the discussion current as well. He uses many jokes and modern illustrations to explain key theological points. For instance, when describing the mystery (and difficulty) of the Trinity he tells of a boy singing in the choir of a Church that uses the Athanasian creed. When the little boy sang the 8th verse, the boy would sing under his breath, "The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, the Holy Spirit incomprehensible, ...the whole thing incomprehensible!" Overall, this is a fine book for those exploring the Orthodox Church, those in it, and those who just want a taste of ancient Eastern Christian theology. Often in the Western churches the wisdom of Chrysostom, Gregory Palamas, Symeon, and other great theologians are largely ignored. Thus, this book has many purposes, and even if you don't read it all the way through, keep it as a reference book; there is a lot of great theology contained within.

The Book of Common Prayer for the Eastern Orthodox
I hold this treasure close to heart.
A good introduction to Orthodox prayer, esp for inquirers Originally published in 1945, its language does predate today's interest in "Modern English for worship". Also, having first been published by an Anglican-Orthodox fellowship, rather than by an Orthodox jurisdiction, the book itself might not necessarily be used by large numbers of Orthodox Christians in English-speaking lands (they might use other collections of these prayers prepared by their own Churches). However, those other collections might be less accessible to people outside Orthodoxy than this one, which can be ordered so easily through Amazon. It can therefore introduce inquirers to a portion of the rich treasury of Orthodox prayer.
The Light from the East There are morning prayers, evening prayers, prayers for different occasions, anthems and hymns for saints and holy feasts (troparia and kontakia), the Orders of Confession according to Greek and Slavonic uses (in English), prayers for use before and after the reception of Holy Communion, and a calendar of the saints who are honoured in holy Orthodoxy. The "O Heavenly King" can be found on page 2, prayers to the Theotokos on page 8, a prayer of St John Chrysostom "according to the hours of the day and night" on pp. 14-15 (this prayer, or series of short prayers, quite lovely); Metropolian Philaret's prayer where he dares not ask for either cross or consolation, on p. 24; a lengthy and lovely prayer in verse by St Symeon the New Theologian, beginning on page 71, and a penitential pre-Communion prayer of surpassing beauty ("Thou hast smitten me, O Christ, with yearning; and with thy divine love hast thou changed me") on page 77. The language is reminiscent of earlier days in the life of the Church (thees and thous), and when psalms are quoted, it is the 1662 Book of Common Prayer version that is used.This comparatively young, Western, Roman Catholic reader values this small purple book, A Manual of Eastern Orthodox Prayers, for its loveliness of language, its acute awareness of -- and profound humility before -- Divine Beauty, and its recognition (often absent in the language of modern Western Christianity) that God is Majesty, and that as we approach him, a feeling of awe is not malapert.
Best Compilation of Orthodox Prayers Clergy of other denominations interested in Orthodox ritual will probably find this book of use as well, since it points out differences in Russian and Greek usage and also gives the most complete church calendar I have ever seen in English. Anglican readers will find a perhaps unpleasant surprise - Lancelot Andrewes' "preces privatae", rather than being his own inventions, are in fact prayers from the Orthodox preparation for communion, as you will find if you compare them with the versions in this book. ...
