Hardcover. Condition: New. Bishop Ignatius (1807-1867), an older contemporary of St. Theophan, who, like him, spent the latter part of his life in reclusion, was a powerful exponent of the proper use of the Jesus Prayer. He called it ''extraordinarily simple.'' Indeed. ''But we have Become so complicated that it is just this simplicity which is inaccessible, incomprehensible to us. We want to be clever, we want to revive our own ego, we cannot bear self-renunciation or self-denial, we have no desire to live and act by faith. It is for this reason that we need a guide to lead us out of our complexity, out of our cuteness, out of our cunning, out of our vanity and self-confidence, into the breadth and simplicity of faith.'' This book (originally published in 1865) is such a guide, including instruction on ''The Safest Way for Beginners,'' the dangers of delusion, and a summary of the teachings of spiritual fathers such as St. John Climacus, St. Gregory the Sinaite, and Nils Sorsky. 167 pp. Seller Inventory # 202042
