Editorial Reviews:

The prayer of the heart is a spiritual practice that produces joy, inner peace, and a heart brimming over with love for all creation. This delightful account is the story of one man who sets out to learn the prayer of the heart--also known as the "Jesus prayer"--and how the practice transforms his existence. Its anonymous author was one of the wandering pilgrims who were a regular feature of the Russian countryside from medieval times up until the early twentieth century. Through his eyes we get a charming look at rural life in nineteenth-century Russia, and with him we discover the secret to putting into practice the words of St. Paul: "Pray without ceasing."

This SkyLight Illuminations edition guides you through an abridged version of the text with facing-page annotation explaining all the names, terms, and references for you. Including a glossary of terms as well as an annotated list of other resources, it provides interesting facts, demystifies theological language, and brings the text beautifully to life.

5 out of 5 stars A Most Helpful Edition

I have many copies of this spiritual classic in my home library, but this is the edition that I will stock for our parish book table, given that it provides on facing pages an array of wonderful annotation/explanation for the catechumen and/or the Orthodox-interested seeker. This parallel commentary also provides a wonderful cross-reference between the Pilgrim's journey and the larger tradition of Eastern Christianity, including the writings of the early Fathers and Mothers of the Church.
