5.0 out of 5 stars An important book, May 19, 2001

By	D. Golden (Savannah, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Elder Ephraim has played a very important role in the creation of many Greek Orthodox monasteries throughout the United States. This book gives the lay reader valuable insights into the powerful faith, strength, and compassion that have inspired so many Orthodox people. Definitely an important addition to the library of anyone who wants to experience the vitality of the patristic tradition in today's world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my life, January 15, 2006

By	Zorbas (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This book changed my life. Elder Ephraim is truly of one mind with the Orthodox Saints through the centuries. The book describes how to deal with the passions, on spiritual warfare, temptations and trials, etc. from the traditional Orthodox Christian teachings. Some of this book might be a little too difficult to swallow for the "modern Christian" but perhaps this is needed as a wake up call. I recommend that you read this book slowly and prayerfully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opened my eyes, January 17, 2006

By	K. P. Nash (Memphis, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been Orthodox all my life and never, not in Sunday School, Church, or Bible Study have I ever heard such amazing words as are in this bok. This book discusses every aspect of Orthodox Christianity, and when you read this book you will literally hear God talking to you through Elder Ephraim's words.
