Customer Reviews

This book is an excellent tutorial on the Jesus Prayer.

Excellent for those searching for a means of learning continual prayer. Having experienced the joy of continual prayer for almost four years, I found explanations for things I have experienced during prayer and assistance in perfecting the prayer form. Some of the terminology in this book may make conservatives a little nervous, but there is nothing contrary to the teachings of Jesus or the Catholic Church in it. The book is an excellent source for those inquiring about this ancient Christian prayer form. It will change your life!

A classic on early Christian spirituality.

The prayer of Jesus differs from all other Christian prayers in that it leads the supplicant into the presence of God, seeking to enter into the very heart of God, so that his or her soul may find consolation in divine mercy. The producers of this special book deserve much credit for its addition to the spiritual literature available in English. Charles B. Ashanin, Ph.D.
