description: This new edition brings back into print a pioneering work that sold almost 70,000 copies in its first edition. In this comprehensive guide to contemplative prayer, George Maloney, S.J., a leading exponent of the Eastern Orthodox spiritual tradition in the decades after Vatican II, opens up this tradition of prayer--in particular the Jesus Prayer--to Western Christians in a clear and practical manner. Unmatched as a readable and complete guide to Eastern spirituality during its fifteen-year history of publication, it fills a void in the spirituality market for today's readers as well.
