Book Reviews of The Way of a Pilgrim and the Pilgrim Continues His WayBook Review: Enormously uplifting for those of any religion (or lack ther Summary: 5 StarsReally quite good. Refreshing, in its modesty and simplicity (no tricky fiction techniques). For those curious, it is the book read by Zooey (or is it Franny?) in JD Salinger's "Franny and Zooey." Certainly a worthwhile read even for those not into "Christian" Literature.
Book Review: And to say that there is no life left in Christianity Summary: 5 StarsFor the Christian mystic, an element that is all but shunned in the current state of the Christian religion, this book will refresh, enlighten and renew your search for Truth and do it within the "confines" of religious doctrine. For the fundamentalist Christian, this book will soften your heart slowly, bit by bit, and before you know it, "the world" will not appear as evil and as frightening as it can sometimes appear.
Book Review: A beautiful map of easy steps toward salvation. Summary: 5 StarsThe book Franny was reading and Zooey has read in Salinger's Franny and Zooey, a stunningly simple yet insistent explanation of the way of praying "The Jesus Prayer": "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me." This prayer repeated incessantly is reputed to bring joy and let you "see God" in Franny's words. Get it. Pray it. It works.
Book Review: my favorite book--Christian life and Russian history in one Summary: 5 StarsWow. It's sort of the ultimate Christian or spiritual life. Any mere thoughts I could have about life or religion pale in comparison to the life our little pilgrim actually lived. If you like Russia or its history, you're in for a double treat. If you've read Catcher in the Rye, or more particularly Franny and Zooey, you'll get a bang out of knowing that you and the great J.D.Salinger share a love for the same little pilgrim.
Book Review: Very inspiring and well written book. Summary: 5 StarsI will keep it simple. If you are seriousabout the path to God, read this book. Ithas inspired me deeply and I use it as aconstant source to renew my spiritual zeal.
