[QUOTE="Enigma, post: 1330609, member: 3766"] Personally, I'm a big fan of the Russians of the 19th and 20th centuries. Their writings are very accessible but also don't pull any punches, with a great focus placed on ascetism. This would include figures like St. Theophan the Recluse, St. Ignatius Brianchaninov, St. John of Kronstadt, St. Siluoan, and St. Sophrony. There's a good book by Bishop Averky of Jordanville available on Kindle which deals specifically with practicing virtue in the modern world. He spent the last 25 years of his life at Holy Trinity Monastery and Seminary in New York. It's called [I]The Struggle for Virtue: Ascetism in a Modern Secular Society[/I]. [/QUOTE]
