The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

There is no one best book, the best book for you would be dependent on your own current insufficiencies. Not even the Bible is best to read alone, for you will fall into your own theological errors. Remember, you're reading a translation, in which there isn't always a perfect word for what is being translated, and words have changed their meaning over time. This will distort your understanding.

Yes, this one is very good.

From the 15th century, I believe.

Thomas a Kempis was a German monk who was very insightful into how to lead a life imitating Jesus Christ.

The monastery where he died in got burned down during the Protestant Deformation.

Do you have epubs for any of those? They seem really obscure.

>"Indication of the Way Into the Kingdom of Heaven" by Saint Innocent of Alaska

No epubs, but here's a site that has it in full (very short but very meaty):

http://orthodoxinfo.com/general/kingdomofheaven.aspx

And here's the physical copy that I own if you would like to get one for yourself:

https://www.amazon.com/Indication-Way-into-Kingdom-Heaven/dp/088465303X

And here's links to a physical copy of "The Path of Salvation":

https://www.amazon.com/Path-Salvation-Manual-Spiritual-Transformation/dp/1887904506

And while, unfortunately, physical copies of "My Life in Christ" do tend to be pricey:

https://www.amazon.com/My-Life-Christ-John-Kronstadt/dp/0884650170/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

You can read if for free online:

My bad. If you do a search on Amazon, you'll be able to find other physical editions in the 20ish dollar range if you want.
