Neither is trying to convert you. They are both about how to understand Eastern answers to these sorts of big questions you're asking.
Thanks, Brian. I've not read these 2, but am familiar with Orthodox. My flavor of Christianity is a different one, but I do see truth in most all of them. For sure, I do know that my Redeemer lives.
I'll check them out--my reading list is getting quite long these days. That's the problem with reading these quality Substacks!
