| Description: |
|
Written by an anonymous Russian Christian, the original manuscript for The Way of a Pilgrim and its sequel, The Pilgrim Continues His Way, came into the hands of a monk on Mount Athos in the nineteenth century and was first published in 1884. These chronicles follow the author as he travels through mid-nineteenth century Russia and Siberia, visiting monasteries and shrines of the saints in order to "pray without ceasing." His journey leads him to a starets, a Russian spiritual master who teaches him the spiritual discipline known as Jesus Prayer - the uninterrupted mantra-like invocation of the name of Jesus. This extraordinary account brings to the West the soul of Eastern Christianity. |
