Man this book is dull. Every other chapter is memoir-ish, while the in-between chapters are inside-looks at Orthodox practice (the bit I was interested in). I also think the book is bizarrely dense for as thin as it is in terms of length. It's okay, and some of the insights are nice, but I wouldn't recommend it. All that being said, Eastern Orthodoxy is super interesting, and entirely foreign to anyone (like me) who has grown up in a more westernized, protestant Christianity.
