Book Review: A Concise Practical Guide to Avoiding Lifes' Pitfalls
Summary: 5 Stars
I greatly enjoyed this little tome, as it sets out in 30 bite sized chapters a useable and distilled essence of Saint John Climacus's " Ladder of Divine Ascent". Each one of the thirty hurdles seems at first blush quite trivial, but an honest analysis of ones' daily life will quickly reveal how we stumble on each one of the rungs of the proverbial ladder on a daily basis. This is one of those books you should probably revert to every few years, not only as a refresher, but also for purposes of regeneration and reaffirmation. Life and its circumstances are tough, but the reassurance and guidance this little gem provides us with will serve to re center us on the path. The beauty of this book is that it is valid for members of any creed or philosophical outlook, and the underlying text represents a pinnacle of Orthodox Christian teaching.
