very clearly, thoughtfully presented & structured

I found this book extremely useful as someone approaching Orthodox Christianity as an adult (existing Christian) 'believer' seeking a meaningful and more concrete understanding of the Orthodox faith: beyond engaging in the general Church rituals and traditions. to know why it presents Itself as the true and right Christian faith. I feel that this book was extremely effective in doing that and covering a huge amount of ground in short, easy to follow lessons. and it did so without being superficial and without being dismissive of other forms of Christianity. Literally my only hesitation in giving it a perfect review would be my personal minor discomfort with certain strange concepts being presented in a fairly matter of fact way: but leaving more questions than answers. ie saints who were fools for Christ, or the possibility of stories around saints miracles being accepted as massively exaggerated, leaving a strange feeling of how is a person to know when a story is supposed to be believed on face value and when is it supposed to be accepted as intentional hyperbole? I suppose questions are often more valuable than quick answers and so I will seek deeper answers to soemnof those questions, and certainly I can say this was a profound and inspiring listen for me. thank you sincerely
