The Ancient Path is a call for twentieth century man to rediscover authentic Christianity. Fr. Spyridon highlights the gulf that exists between modern thinking and the belief and practices of the Early Church. It is a call to abandon the illusions of modern philosophy to return to the one path that leads to Christ. Rich with quotations from the Church Fathers each chapter deals with a separate issue, covering the saints, love, family, repentance, theosis and many more. In a book that pulls no punches Fr. Spyridon reveals how Orthodoxy is the living continuation of the faith given by Christ to the Apostles.

Through the ancient truths of the Orthodox Church he demonstrates how only when we have a true understanding of death can we begin to discover and live out the purpose of our existence.

Though deeply spiritual, Trampling Down Death By Death offers a pragmatic approach to the reality of our mortality.

Father Ioakeim Oureilidis writes "This book is primarily a spiritual invitation through this paper object, that our Holy Mary, our Panagia, making good use of Fr Spyridon's skills and talents, extends to us all to visit her earthly home, the Holy Mountain, in order to be rejuvenated through faith and communication with the praying fathers and her grace."

In a place in time that is unidentified but universal we follow his encounters with those who have been ravaged by the chaos of the world but also with those who have found God's peace in the midst of turmoil. Podvig is an allegorical story rich with spiritual insights that will comfort, enlighten and challenge in equal measures.
