    the book of the life of orthodox prayer is strong because it is a saying of fathers concentrated in on only topic the prayer, if you sprituall study the saying and the life of the fathers one by one, or study a certain virtue in each father in his special life or in his saying, or in the old and new tstment you will make a strong spritual notebook for your self,
    also, the book of our pope is very practical and simple :)
