Through the pages of the book "The Inner River", we follow Kyriakos Markidis - researcher, author, and pilgrim - on an exciting journey into the heart of Christian spirituality, on a pilgrimage that reveals humanity's deep desire to experience the transcendent experience of God. From the rugged shores of Maine to Mount Athos and the desert of Egypt, Kyriakos Markidis encounters people who will help him explore the worlds of the natural and supernatural, of religion and spirit, of the visible and the invisible.

The book "The Inner River" will touch all readers - from Christians seeking a transformative experience of their religion to scholars interested in learning more about the knowledge and wisdom that constitute the heart of Christian spirituality. Above all, this book serves as a bridge that leads modern readers to a Christian life characterized by a perfect balance between worldly and spiritual matters.

"In his new book, Kyriakos Markidis invites us to follow him on another journey, to witness his conversations with a wise and charismatic spiritual Father, and to reflect on the big questions of life and death. By following the author on a journey into the heart of Orthodox Christian spirituality, we realize that the discoveries he shares with us are more relevant today than ever before."
