One book title per request, please.

https://www.amazon.com/Robber-Repentant-Sayings-Moses-Strong/dp/1939972744/ref%3Dsr_1_1?

This is another source for church fathers that are enjoyable and productive reading but less known in the west.

Amazon blurb:

This is the English translation of the Arabic life of Abba Moses the Strong, according to a 14th century manuscript. Additionally this book includes a compilation of Abba Moses's sayings, including a broader set than those typically available, derived from the late Bishop Epiphanius's Bustan. Known hymns are also provided.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
