A Different Christianity: Early Christian Esotericism and Modern Thought

This book by Robin Amis is described on Amazon as:"This book presents the esoteric original core of Christianity, with its concern for illuminating and healing the inner life of the individual. It is a bridge to the often difficult doctrines of the early church fathers, explaining their spiritual psychology, which underlies the spirituality of the Greek church. The book helps to show links between that patristic spirituality and the present-day understandings of living monks and abbots on Mount Athos. A Different Christianity is useful to the practitioner, as well as to the scholar, providing new insights into the problems of studying and following the spiritual path outside of a monastery." This would help fill holes in the coverage of Orthodox monasticism (Mt. Athos) and provide context for reading the much requested Philokalia (Church fathers).
