From the author: "The Christian way is a way of metamorphosis that leads from egoism to Love." In this important work, the reader will find a treasure trove of ancient spiritual wisdom from the Christian East. Still little known to the Western world, the first thousand years of Christianity taught a transformational, psychotherapeutic theology which has been virtually lost to our part of the world. The author's exceptional breadth of knowledge and scholarship in the field of Eastern Orthodox spirituality offers the reader direct contact with the spiritual Masters who were the Grace-filled light-bearers of this universal Truth originally made known by Yeshua the Anointed One. The reader will find countless citations - pearls of wisdom - gathered here in a unique fashion, along with the author's own profound understanding of these teachings that have immediate impact on daily human life and the power to awaken and transform the consciousness of every human being.
