Having faith in a postmodern world is a grace. This collection of reflections captures the struggle, the joy, and the angst in keeping the Orthodox faith in the everyday workings of an Orthodox woman. Whether grumbling about completing the endless to-do lists in a working woman's life or reveling in the beauty of a winter morning, this book gives an interior look into the soul of a tortured soul hoping against hope for the grace and the peace that comes with knowing the Lord. Told in a confessional style, each reflection speaks of the difficulties in keeping faith, keeping the fast, keeping gratitude in the heart. It reveals the interior monologue of a prodigal and narrates the insights that come from the fear and trembling of living in the twenty-first century with its nihilism, despondency, and existential agony. Divided into three parts, it reads as a lament, a prayer, and a confession while offering nuggets of wisdom that come through contemplation of specific traditions and feasts of the church. Eat (Less) Pray (More) Love (Christ) is the spiritual diary of a prodigal heart yearning to love Christ in spite of her vulnerabilities, her shortcomings, and her doubts.

Reviews for Eat (Less) Pray (More) Love (Christ)

""The book surprised me from its first introductory pages as I found an unabashed writer of originality and verve whose expressed confessional intentions quickly captured my interest with their flagrant honesty. Her writing is a feast of unvarnished depictions of the struggles to face and surmount the Sisyphean agonies of daily life offered to an Orthodox Christian woman, mother, wife, social critic, and perpetual pilgrim without a trace of sentimentality, idealism, or self-justification."" --Stephen Muse, author of When Hearts Become Flame
