Excellent insight into mystical prayer life of E.Orthodoxy,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Prayer: An Orthodox Anthology (Paperback)
My copy of _The Art of Prayer_ is dog-eared, highlighted, been read in the rain and the bathtub alike, has travelled with an Anglican friend during his trips to see family, and is an absolutely astounding and pragmatic methods of attaining the prayer of the heart. The Jesus Prayer (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner) is an excellent prayer for working towards theosis, that is, union with God, and this book helps one get a 'feel' for the ethos of Orthodoxy, for the process of becoming truly human, as we are intended, and it is a useful book for Eastern Orthodox and non-Orthodox Christians alike.

An excellent introduction to the Philokalia,
By
This review is from: The Art of Prayer: An Orthodox Anthology (Paperback)
I can't add much to the previous reviews; this book is a drink of cool spring water in the desert.One comment. If you've attempted to read the Philokalia but have been put off by the demands it makes of its readers, please pick up this book. It will prepare you for the spiritual treasures found in the Philokalia.
