Many Orthodox people, when wanting to provide resources to those who want to learn about the true faith, end up suggesting "The Orthodox Way" and "The Orthodox Church" as the first literary resources to go to. I however have a different opinion. The aforementioned books are fantastic reads, however they may be too "academic" for many. I've been reading over a 4 book series by Clark Carlton.
The Life: The Orthodox Doctrine of Salvation
The Way: What Every Protestant Should Know About the Orthodox Church
The Faith: Understanding Orthodox Christianity
The Truth: What Every Roman Catholic Should Know About the Orthodox Church
Although the theology presented may not be "deep" enough for some, I think Carlton does a fantastic job in introducing the faith in a very readable fashion. It's a good "primer" if you will.
