Monastic's and other Holy People

One may wonder how, after two millennia, the Orthodox church could “still be in tact” with the same teachings handed to us by the Apostles. Generation after generation, Church traditions are fiercely guarded by men and women who have given up their “wordly” lives for a life based solely on their love for Christ and their desire to be closer to Him. Delve into one of the many fine books below and you will find that Orthodox monastic's are not the meek, foolish weaklings that many people make them out to be. Rather, due to their fierce struggles and tireless labors, they are full of wisdom beyond human measure. Their words and examples will leave the reader pleasantly humbled and yearning for more.
