First published in 1979 and revised in 1995, The Orthodox Way is widely considered a modern classic of Orthodox spirituality. While his earlier work, The Orthodox Church, focuses on the history and "outer" structure of the Church, this book turns inward to explore the "inner" spiritual landscape of the faith.

Metropolitan Kallistos Ware does not present theology as a dry system of rules or academic definitions, but as a living mystery—a personal encounter with God. He guides the reader through the fundamental aspects of the Christian experience: God as Mystery, God as Trinity, God as Creator, God as Man, God as Spirit, and God as Prayer. Ideal for both inquirers seeking an introduction to the faith and lifelong believers hoping to deepen their prayer life, this book reveals that Orthodoxy is not merely a set of beliefs, but a "Way" of life that leads to the heart of the Divine.
