Thousands have fallen in love with the anonymously authored book The Way of a Pilgrim—the account of an ordinary man's encounter with the Eastern Orthodox Christian practice of the Jesus Prayer, which consists of the constant repetition of the short phrase, "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me." Here is the perfect introduction to this life-changing practice, as it was taught by one of the great spiritual lights of Russia.
 
In On the Prayer of Jesus, Bishop Ignatius Brianchaniov (1807–1867) provides wise instruction and advice covering all aspects of the practice. You will learn how to:

· Get started with the practice
· Approach common difficulties that arise
· Deal with friends and family who do not understand what you are doing
· Make the Jesus Prayer the foundation of your life
