A Treasure
A beautiful book full of amazing treasures of spiritual insight.Reading this book and books of today on
prayer
do not seem to be even about the same subject. This authur is communing with God not looking for "a personal relationship with Jesus"
Simplicity Itself
in as few words as possible i would like to say that this is like a bible for me - i have just st
art
ed reading it and already i can feel the sheer power in its utter humility - the way in which the use of
prayer
is explained to be the essence of any method or practice is unique in it's directness - i have not read a book on Christian Prayer or any Christian book for that matter which covers simply and unswervingly, what i call, the Heart of All Religion - i have always been scared by the word '
orthodox
'...until now - now i understand what the word means to me - i recommend this book over any other like it - i guarantee you will not be displeased - now for the practice...
"Pray without ceasing" (5:17)

A Sure Guide
Beautiful, simple, instructive, and wise, this is one of the books you want to open daily... and should! An invaluable and sure guide for the life of
prayer
.
Great Book on Unceasing Prayer
This is a great book for all people trying to pray without ceasing. I could not read this though cover to cover, I had to take it a little at a time. For me, it answered questions I had about the Jesus
Prayer
. If you do buy this book and are not familiar with the Jesus Prayer I highly reccomend first reading "The Way of the Pilgrim and the Pilgrim Continues His Way."
