The Art of Prayer

From the publisher:

compiled by Igumen Chariton of Valamo, translated by Kadloubovsky & Palmer, edited with an introduction by Kallistos Ware

A spiritual anthology concerned in particular with the most frequently used and best loved of all Orthodox prayers—the Jesus Prayer. Topics discussed include oral prayer, the unceasing prayer of the heart, the dangers of illusion and discouragement, the need for seclusion, and how to attain inner peace.

Texts are taken chiefly from the letters of Bishop Theophan the Recluse, along with many other writers from the Greek and Russian traditions.
