a light burden: my life as an Orthodox Christian Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have long struggled to balance my humanity with my higher self. So many times during my ups and downs, I felt alone, swathed in veils anguish and uncertainty. I searched for God on lonely paths and prayed for light and forgiveness. Through great travail, I came to have peace in my soul, not by my actions, but by the grace of the Almighty. Many times I wanted to tell of my struggle in hopes of helping someone else. I longed for words that might be a salve to the souls of those wounded by darkness and sin. But, alas, God did not bless me with the words to heal or to guide. I could write no book, or even a paragraph, that might condole and cajole others to keep on working and walking toward enlightenment.
Now however, when I meet someone in need of solace and struggling to find their place in the world or in Christ's Church, I will point them to this slim volume. Within its pages they will find a soul laid bare, void of ego and pride-- a soul at its most vulnerable and beautiful. A beautiful holy life that will let you know: you are not alone and that God loves you as you are, flaws included.
Whether or not you are not an Orthodox Christian, or even a Christian, this book will still inspire you. I ask you to do the same thing the Angel of God urged Elijah to do in the wilderness, "Eat, for the journey is long." The words of Logospilgrim will feed your soul and nourish your spirit.

I sing like a plain, unexceptional black-feathered bird. With every stroke of my pen, I sing my modest song of worship, not always melodiously. I am reduced to more or less efficacious poetic words; I am not like the eagles who soar and fly with their powerful wings and supply meat to their young. I am a tiny, easily chilled bird, pecking at seeds on the ground and chirping softly. I cannot go far. But if this is what God wants, then that is all it is sufficient for me to know.
