   BLASPHEMY!  
Glorified in America 
     This book groups our Saint John S&SF with deluded false elder Ephraim Moraitis.

  AVOID
In general do not trust any Jordanville book written after 2007.

   Regarding New Books of Sayings of Optina Elders
Translators are World Orthodox, and deprived of grace, which will certainly affect their ability to discern and to impart the Spirit.  Also, it is better for us not to take the words of the Elders out of context, it is better for us to read whole lifes.  Instead a better purchase would be Russian Ascetics of Piety compiled by HNM Bp. Nicodemus of Belgorod.

 older authors to avoid
  • Georges Florovsky died in world orthodoxy.
  • Seraphim Slobodskoy was a Christian evolutionist. 
  • Humble authors do not reveal if they have a PhD.  
  • Our Church officially has had only 3 true theologians: St. John the Apostle, St. Gregory of Nazianzus, and St. Symeon the New Theologian.
