| For nearly 2,000 years the Eastern Orthodox Church
has thrived among the many nations and cultures of eastern
civilization. While the practice of Orthodox Christianity has gained adherence among many in the west, it has largely
gone unnoticed in American religious culture. For this reason we have
provided a number of books and resources designed to guide Orthodox Christians,
as well give those unfamiliar to this branch of the Christian faith a
deeper understanding of the background, the theology, and the practice
of this ancient faith. |

churches.

The Mountain of Silence
Kyriacos C. Markides
Retail Price: $13.95
CBD Price: $10.99
Buy 24 or more of this product and pay only $10.44 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt
In an engaging combination of dialogues, reflections, conversations, history, and travel information, Kyriacos C. Markides continues the exploration of a spiritual tradition and practice he began in Riding with the Lion. His earlier book took readers to the isolated peninsula of Mount Athos in northern Greece and into a group of ancient monasteries. There, in what might be called a "Christian Tibet," two thousand monks and hermits practice the spiritual arts to attain oneness with God. In his new book, Markides follows Father Maximos, one of Mount Athos's monks, to the troubled island of Cyprus. As Father Maximos establishes churches, convents, and monasteries in this deeply divided land, Markides is awakened anew to the magnificent spirituality of the Greek Orthodox Church.
