This review is from: The Arena: An Offering to Contemporary Monasticism (Paperback)
Written for monastics, but I found a great deal of wisdom and insight in here for me, an Orthodox Chrisitan living in the world and who struggles on to finish the race.

Thanks be to God indeed for the wisdom of His Saints, and thanks to Archimandrite Lazarus for his translating of this fine work
