Orthodox Prayer Life: The Interior Way by Matthew the Poor
Great book! Monk Matthew quotes profusely from the Fathers on every topic within his discussion of Orthodox spirituality. In his own explanations he is able to make very complex topics simple and easy to understand. I recommend this book to anyone seeking to learn more about prayer and enhance their prayer life.
