Book Reviews of The Way of a Pilgrim and the Pilgrim Continues His Way
Book Review: Praying Unceasingly - the Prayer of the Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
How does one obey the scriptural imperative to "Pray without ceasing?" The simple pilgrim (we learn his background in bits and snatches) sets out to learn how... from both the wise and the simple he meets on the road. In a period and place where a cup of tea is a rare treat and a book one's sole possession, glimpses of disaster and survival, madness and understanding, suffering and joy, simplicity and layers of implications appear with every turn in the road. "Pray, and do not labor much to conquer your passions by your own strength. For 'greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world,' (1 John 4:4), says holy Scripture."
Book Review: Very inspiring and well written book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I 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.Book Review: my favorite book--Christian life and Russian history in one
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. 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: A beautiful map of easy steps toward salvation.
Summary: 5 Stars
The 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: And to say that there is no life left in Christianity
Summary: 5 Stars
For 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.
