Reviews"The pilgrim's is a way of great simplicity. Even so, some guidance is necessary to understand it. Now, for the first time in English, comes a truly useful version of the beloved classic of Russian spirituality--one that allows us to actually follow the pilgrim on his way." --Clark Strand, author, The Wooden Bowl: Simple Meditations for Everyday Life "I will be recommending this new translation to those interested in learning about the Jesus prayer. Thanks to the helpful annotations, it will be a most useful resource." --Frederica Matthewes-Green, National Public Radio commentator; author, Facing East and At the Corner of East and Now: A Modern Life in Ancient Christian Orthodoxy

SynopsisThe timeless account of an anonymous wanderer who set out on a journey across nineteenth-century Russia with nothing but a backpack, some bread, and a Bible, with a burning desire to learn the true meaning of the words of St. Paul: "Pray without ceasing.", Following this Russian pilgrim is the path to discovering an ancient method of prayer.

Including a glossary of terms as well as an annotated list of other resources, it provides interesting facts, demystifies theological language, and brings the text beautifully to life., The classic of Russian spirituality--now with facing-page commentary that illuminates and explains the text.
