Religious-extremist - With Love In Christ

Is there an Orthodox Christian book club on Tumblr yet? If not, please reply if you’d like to start one!

Reply with your favorite Orthodox book / what you’re currently reading / what you’re planning on reading next!

My current favorite Orthodox book is My Elder Joseph the Hesychast. I’m currently reading St. Paisios the Athonite’s biography but I plan on reading St. Silouan the Athonite’s book next!

reading spiritually beneficial books and then getting on the internet for social media is like painting a masterpiece worthy of a palace, spinning 360 degrees, then projectile vomiting onto the canvas.

“Understand two thoughts, and fear them. One says, ‘You are a saint,’ the other, ‘You won't be saved.’ Both of these thoughts are from the enemy, and there is no truth in them. But think this way: I am a great sinner, but the Lord is merciful. He loves people very much, and He will forgive my sins.”

“Only He that descended from Heaven would have been capable of elevating man into Heaven.”
