Title: Sublime
Review: This book serves as a sublime introduction to the mystical side of Christianity - the Christian way originating in the centuries following Christ and surviving to this day, having been preserved in the remote and secluded monasteries of Eastern Orthodox Greece. The author, having been educated in the United States, had followed the path of many of his contemporaries and participated in zen meditation and other new-age spiritual movements in the West. On a whim he decides to re-examine Christianity, traveling to a remote corner of Greece and discovering an ancient Christian tradition unknown to the western Christians of today. Within this tradition, guided by enlightended spiritual elders, he discovers the practices required to achieve 'Theosis', or union with God. Containing a wealth of miraculous and inspiring stories, Kyriacos Markides investigates this Way of the Saints, what he calls - The threefold way.
