5.0 out of 5 stars A Spiritual Jewel
This is a wonderfully readable translation (1991), by Olga Savin, of a true spiritual classic. It's a book meant to be read again & again, in conjunction with the Philokalia ("Love of the Good/Beautiful"): a collection of mystical/ascetical writings (originally in Russian & Greek, available in English) by the the Fathers of the Eastern Church. The most noted &, in the minds of the Fathers, essential feature is the "Jesus Prayer", repeated over & over. Called by the Fathers "the art", even "the art of arts", St. John Chrysostom simply summarizes it thus: "Whether eating or drinking, sitting or officiating in church, traveling or doing anything else, one must cry unceasingly, "Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!…Continue to invoke unceasingly the Name of the Lord Jesus, so that your heart embraces the Lord within itself and the Lord embraces your heart, and the two become one." The process involves what could be called a fairly "standard" structure, with some personal variations allowed: solitude/quiet, watchfulness of the mind over thoughts, drawing the mind down into the heart, prayer, especially the Jesus Prayer, "until", as Nicephorus the Solitary notes, "this invocation becomes one with the beating of your heart and flows unceasingly. This is what all the Holy Fathers taught."

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn about the Pilgrim’s Journey
This is a great book with its subject being the Jesus Prayer. The pilgrim goes to learn about the prayer and in the book you get to hear his journey. I would highly recommend this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars One great book
Amazing book, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
4.0 out of 5 stars The path to God is through prayer....
This is a good book on growth in the spiritual life. It takes place in Russia so the pilgrim is Orthodox, but one could switch it to Catholicism just as easily. The only thing I have against it is that the inside back cover (or the front?) promotes New Age literature (publisher's fault) and the pilgrim (if I remember right) tries to convert a Polish Catholic. Rome and the Orthodox are sisters. Can't we work to heal the Great Schism? The narrative is captivating though and teaches important truths. It's the interior (and not the exterior) of a person that matters most. Jesus in the Gospels would agree.

One of my favorites. Can be a tricky read and corny at times, but its worth the effort.
A Meditative Journey Towards Compassion.
Simple, beautiful & authentic. A rare insight into the Eastern Orthodox Christian approach to God. Quite possibly the final enclave of Christianity which infuses the traditional Orthodox framework with a deeply mystical and compassionate perspective.

Loved the practice and information on praying
