✦ Synopsis

Review from Amazon:

Written by one of the top Orthodox theologians of modern times, this book on the contemplative prayer using the the Jesus Prayer is an excellent guide and along with other more detailed books would serve one's practice very well.
This book is an excellent introduction to Orthodox prayer, especially the Jesus Prayer. It is concise, yet nearly every sentence is packed with meaning and worthy of reflection. It is a booklet to which I will return often. It is packed with practical suggestions and encouragement to pursue God with persistent vigor. I recommend it highly to all who seek the Lord Jesus Christ.
