A lot to think about. The logic in this book isn't perfect at all

mRizk How is it??


Mark Rizk Farag To be perfectly honest I'm struggling with it a bit. It has many things that I find helpful and informative (such as the section on asceticism). But it also has things I find disagreeable or unhelpful (such as religion mixing with politics or very quick conclusions about timeless philosophical questions).

mRizk Yeah, I feel the same about the podcast, so I was skeptical of a book with a topic this big. Sometimes it’s nice to just see a different perspective but a lot of the time I just want to be immersed without worrying about it.


Mark Rizk Farag I'm glad you agree 😅. I was wondering if you had any alternative recommendations for orthodox books? I really enjoyed 'Beginning to Pray' by Fr Anthony Bloom.
