Lossky, The Mystical Theology of the Orthodox Church
Ware, The Orthodox Church [Albeit a bit dated now post cold war]
Fedotov, G.P. A Treasury of Russian Spirituality

Roman Catholic:

Regula Sancti Benedicti [Rule of St. Benedict]
Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God
J.N.D. Kelly, Early Christian Doctrines
