This question is for Orthodox and Byzantine Catholics only (or I should say that I am looking for Eastern Orthodox Material only).

My wife recently gave birth to our first child and we would like to start a habit of doing daily devotions surrounding or enlightened by a Scripture passage. I know we could just use the Church calendar as a structural guide but in the past when I have used that I often was left with a "uh... Okay.. yup... there's that..." kind of feeling. I would like something eastern that would spur healthy reflection/discussion among my wife and I (and eventually our son/kids as we grow older)... what as a lutheran we called "devotionals". However, I don't just want something where we just talk abuot our feelings. I want to be guided by the Church. The OSB doesn't really do it for me at all as it's not really meant for that.

Well, I am babbling. If anyone has any books they could reccomend, articles or just general advise, that would be great.

Thanks a lot!

PS: I am also not looking for anything pricy... like the 20 dollar range (give or take 5 bucks). Of course I would love the fancy schmancy stuff, but I don't have the money for it. I actually want to keep this simple and short (like 10 min a day kind of thing). Thanks again!

You may want to try Dynamis from the Antiochian Archdiocese. You can obtain it in two different formats, email which is done for free or hard copy which is done via subscription. Their website is here. [antiochian.org]

Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai
