A Night in the Desert of the Holy Mountain: Discussion with a Hermit on Jesus Prayer

Metropolitan of Nafpaktos Hierotheos

'A Night in the Desert of the Holy Mountain' is a book which brings to light the quintessence of Orthodox spiritual life: the Jesus prayer or prayer of the heart and how it can be practiced by both monks/nuns and lay people.

The discussion flows in a spontaneous and immediate way with the dialogue form of the book contributing to this.

The reader enjoys the simple presentation of the teachings of the Church on the Jesus prayer, through the authentic experience of an Athonite hermit.  And "when a hermit's mouth opens, it fills you with fragrance".
