Quarantine-Book #60:

I just finished "The Orthodox Faith: Volume 4; Spirituality," by Thomas Hopko.

(If you can stomach reading electronic The Orthodox Church of America has made this quite easy reading set avaliable for free:
https://www.oca.org/orthodoxy/the-ort... )

This seems to be great insight into the more practical part of the EO church. It deals with all aspects of one's walk in life or piety. I found it interesting and it finished with a bang.

The most honest and personal book out of The Orthodox Faith series by Thomas Hopko. Not all Christian knowledge is simply theology, worship or history; to be true Christians we must be Christ-like, live by his teachings and act and behave as he does. Father Hopko writes well about all virtues of a true Christian life. Probably my favourite out of the series, an easy and inspiring read and a great finish to a great series. God bless.
