The Jesus Prayer: A Guide to Praying Deeper

By Nate Labadorf

Learn to pray the Jesus Prayer with simplicity, attention, and depth.

Many Christians want a deeper prayer life, but the mind is scattered, the day is crowded, and silence can feel almost impossible. The Jesus Prayer: A Guide to Praying Deeper is a clear, practical, and spiritually serious introduction to one of the most treasured prayers of the Christian tradition:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Written for beginners, this guide teaches you how to begin praying the Jesus Prayer without confusion, spiritual ambition, or unnecessary complexity. You will learn how to form a simple prayer rule, use a prayer rope, return from distraction, pray with attention, and carry the prayer into daily life.

Rooted in Scripture, the Philokalia, The Way of a Pilgrim, and the wider Orthodox tradition, this book is not merely about repeating words. It is about learning to return to Christ again and again with repentance, humility, and trust.

Inside, you will discover:

This is a book for ordinary Christians who want to pray more deeply in the middle of ordinary life. Whether you are new to the Jesus Prayer, curious about Orthodox spirituality, or looking for a steadier way to remember Christ throughout the day, this guide offers a grounded place to begin.

Begin simply. Return often. Call on the mercy of Jesus Christ.
