I am reading a book called "Journey To Heaven" by St. Tikhon of Zadonsk its published very Holy Monastery, the Monastery is Holy Trinity in Jordanville NY (I Think you guys might have heard of it, JK Fr. A)
St. Tikhon Mentions the pharse "Tri-Hypostatic God" he kinda lost me at that point. What does that mean "Tri-Hypostatic God"

Daniel,

"Tri-hypostatic" refers to the Holy Trinity, God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. "Hypostasis" is a Greek word meaning "person."

In Christ,

The three persons of the Holy Trinity. http://www.monachos.net/mb/clipart/happy.gif

I hope you're enjoying the book, I thought it was very edifying (especially parts like the one dealing with sins after baptism).

Yes,

I am getting into that part, its seems alot better the first part of the book got to a slow start. I have been reading some good books.
