Another section has Articles. This section is a "grab bag" of other nonfiction works. If you're looking for a place to start, I suggest Actually, to Me, It Is a Very Good Day.
The ancient Greeks developed an art of memory that is very good with concrete facts. I wanted to see if I could adapt the principles to be more effective in storing abstractions.
This is from a lecture and "reading aloud by the author" session.
An Author's Musing Memoirs: Retrospective Reflections, Retracings, and Retractions
A letter to the reader about God, some of my flaws, and God's work even in a flawed person such as Yours Truly.
A carefully thought-out resource for reviewers for web awards program, on how to best present their programs to the web.
An annotated bibliography of works that have influenced me, that I would like to pass on.
Excerpted from the Journal of an Awakening.
Do you believe that prayer is a good thing, but struggle to enjoy it for more than two minutes? I did for a long time; then something clicked.
A description of mentorship that has more than technique.
This is something I wrote about spiritual discipline and stress. I went to a Bible study that talked about dealing with stress, and when I heard the discussion, I realized that I was living at a much lower level of stress than what was assumed. I thought about how to explain why I experience less stress, and I realized that stress was the tip of the iceberg.
The phrase "The customer is always right!" heralded in good customer service in an age of bad customer service.
Now some companies take "The customer is always right!" in a way that rewards customers who burn out their employees. This is a call to treat employees as human beings and perhaps free them to offer better customer service.
Do you hate spam? Here's a letter you can send to business owners who don't understand why spamming is bad.
This lecture was given at Mensa's Chicago Regional Gathering, and was meant to share several facets of interesting personal experience.

This section has free online novels. Other free online books include Yonder and Hayward's Unabridged Dictionary: A Free Online (Satire) Dictionary, or the how-to book Tinkering with Perl.
But the novels are right here, and several of them are Orthodox books. As well as these novels, you can also see short stories and other assorted creations. If you're looking for a place to start, I suggest The Sign of the Grail.
Imagine... A group of people linger after the church feast at Christmas. The snow has been falling, and they're all snowed in. So they decide each to tell a story—and talk about what they're thankful for, about the Holy Grail, a pilgrimage, a fairy tale, anything. It is a long time before they step outside... This Orthodox book tells their tales.
A novella which explores the connection between a circle of friends as they pass through harrowing experiences.
A science fiction story about a medieval who is transported to the 21st century, and the chaos that ensues. It explores decades of shift in technology and culture. Heinlein fans will note a resemblance to Stranger in a Strange Land, which I drew on—perhaps they'll like this one, too.
In this Orthodox book, a college freshman explores his room and finds a book, Brocéliande, and his eyes begin to open when he starts to read legends of King Arthur's court.
The Steel Orb is an Orthodox book that tells a story from a world that has been simmering in my heart for years. It concerns a young pupil who wants to be a teacher, and the struggles he goes through on the way. It is a fantasy novella based on the patristic Orthodox East instead of the medieval Catholic West.

This section has Christian jokes and humor, and the lighter side of Orthodoxy. If you are looking for a place to start, I suggest Archdruid of Canterbury Visits Orthodox Patriarch. But free to check out the Orthodox books section too.
The confused person's guide to being even more confused about Orthodoxy.
If you don't know what this refers to, do a Google search for "Archbishop of Canterbury becoming a Druid." The issue is more complex than it looks, but not that much more complex.
You may have heard of the Evangelicals who studied hard, tried to re-create the Early Christian Church, and rediscovered the Orthodox Church. Here's an update.
Pope Makes Historic Ecumenical Bid to Woo Eastern Rite Catholics
Hot off the trail of the Pope's offer to Anglicans comes a new historic bid, this time aimed at Eastern Rite Catholics(!).
The most convenient way to become an Orthodox bishop.
