The Jesus Prayer: The Ancient Desert Prayer that Tunes the Heart to God

Â Â
In the earliest centuries of faith, Christians in the deserts of Palestine and Africa sought a short prayer that could be easily repeated, in order to acquire the habit of â€œprayer without ceasing.â€ The result was The Jesus Prayer:
Â
â€œLord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.â€
Â
This jewel of Eastern Christianity aims at enabling a person to be in Godâ€™s presence, rather than to focus on feelings or thoughts about God.
Â
The first section of The Jesus Prayer offers a concise overview of the history, theology, and spirituality of Orthodoxy, so that the Prayer can be understood in its native context. Following, is a conversational question-and-answer format that takes the reader through practical steps for adopting this profound practice in everyday life.
