I'm Orhtodox as well, I'm not familar with the book in question but when I'm reading some thing I'm unsure about i is a good idea toread it and discuss it with your priest.

I can not speak for the Orthodox but as a Catholic I am quite familiar with that book. I am familiar with the Orthodox Church and i doubt that there is anything in that book contrary to your Church. In fact i have even seen some Protestants with that book.

The Imitation of Christ is suitable for ALL Christians.
For five hundred years, this gentle book, filled with the spirit of the love of God, has brought understanding and comfort to millions of readers in over fifty languages, and provided them with a source of heart-felt personal prayer. These meditations on the life and teachings of Jesus, written in times even more troubled and dangerous than our own, have become second only to the Bible as a guide and inspiration.
