The Jesus Prayer by Kallistos Ware

Despite this being little more than a pamphlet it is full to the brim with wisdom and guidance. Like other works by Kallistos Ware every word it put to work.

The book describes the history, practice and purpose of The Jesus Prayer. This short but profound prayer has been a cornerstone if Orthodox contemplative prayer for centuries.
