"This is a must for every Orthodox Christian on prayer.

Every christian who wants to learn to pray w/out ceasing, & to develop the remembrance of God in all things, or who wonders why their faith is not what it should be, would benefit from this book.

Not just for the Orthodox

This book is surprisingly good. Brief pithy selections (1-2 pages in general) allow a busy person to dip in the book for inspiration. Anyone following a heart-centered path (Sacred Heart, Bodhisattva, Bhakti, etc.) and/or a path of continuous Interior Prayer will find much of value, clearly written and directly relevant. Complemented by something like "The Wisdom of the Desert" by Thomas Merton, it could get you ramped up to tackle the formidable Philokalia.

An excellent introduction to the Philokalia

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.

The Art of Prayer

Being interested in true prayer and it's purpose to and through
God and in a format for the layman to grasp and understand, this source has been a blessing to me. I have recommended it to other Christians and will place it in our church library. There is an extensive bibliograpy for further study. I highly recommend to Christian and non-Christian. To the Easterm Othodox " a must read"

An incredible intimation on Christian meditation

This book is a "one of a kind" Christian meditation manual, with notes and quotations, checked by personal experiences, and with honest comments on Christian belief and right and wrong sides of it. The person who wrote it was a monk, so there is no "learned" jibberish -- but only the real gold.
