  3. Essential book for our time 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 5th May 2022

    These important and prophetic words of Archbishop Averky are essential for Christian today as we seek to live out the Gospel. His words are eloquent and full of wisdom.


  4. The Struggle for Virtue 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 29th Apr 2019

    Archbishop Averky does an excellent job explaining asceticism. He writes in a clear, easy-to-read style. This book changed my life. I used to believe asceticism was strange. I could not see why anyone in his right mind would do such a thing. But all asceticism is is a "struggle for virtue".


  5. Incisive clarity 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 20th Nov 2017

    Archbishop Averky narrates human history, tying the chain of many falls and developments to the same self-asserting human pride to which we fell in the Garden of Eden. He then develops this into a cogent framework for understanding how to behave in this modern world and why. I feel like I have a map as I read this detailed strategic and tactical information—the author builds his case in a very orderly fashion. He covers topics so thoroughly that I almost feel like I am receiving personal advice. This book has already found a central place in our family's understanding of how to live our Orthodox faith while the world runs the other way.
