Just finished reading. Would recommend to people new to Eastern Orthodoxy ☦️

Now time to pick my first book for 2024! Is Beyond Order any good?

Have you read 12 rules for life? You don't need to read beyond order after the first book, but, I think it's a good progression to read from the first book.

I have read 12 Rules

Having a miss, captain?

It’s logged. Can’t deny it.

This was a good book to deal with basic protestant objections. Rock and Sand is a good one, ladder of divine ascent is literally a classic, fr seraphim rose's book on life after death was decent. Heavier scholarly work such as the 7 eccumenical councils was written by a catholic but gives a great non bias overview of what was going on. Then you have the orthodox church by mcguckin which is a high level version of know the faith.

What's the takeaway from 5GW? Post memes? 😂

I’m going to check this out. I’m an Inquirer myself.

Any key take away-s?

Thank you!

Do you prefer the Orthodox variant and if so, why?

I read 12 rules for life a few years ago, Mt female sibling advised me to read it. Good book, I have begun making my bed every day. The habit is permanent.
