The man is amazing. I am not familiar with the other two, though I suspect both are good. The Jesus Prayer is a wonderful gift. <BR/><BR/>There's a Lutheran book on the same that is rather hard to get hold of, but quite worth it if you can. It's called: "The Jesus Prayer" by Per-Olof Sjögren and was published by SPCK in London in 1975. <BR/><BR/>A classic Orthodox work on the topic of continual prayer is *The Way of a Pilgrim* and it is priceless. <BR/><BR/>Glad you are enjoying FATS (what an acronym!). <BR/><BR/>Pax!William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1136993529701850312006-01-11T09:32:00.000-06:002006-01-11T09:32:00.000-06:00I heard part of this on Ancient Faith Radio yester...I heard part of this on Ancient Faith Radio yesterday and loved it. Thanks for the link to a recording.<BR/><BR/>One more thing, a bit off topic. You are obviously well read in both Lutheran and EO theology. Could you recommend any books on prayer from either tradition? I've looked at <A HREF="http://www.svspress.com/product_info.php?products_id=41" REL="nofollow">these</A> <A HREF="http://www.svspress.com/product_info.php?products_id=2640" REL="nofollow">three</A> <A HREF="http://www.svspress.com/product_info.php?products_id=2506" REL="nofollow">books</A>, but I don't know anything about them. Unfortunately I've not been able to find many Lutheran books on the subject. But I'm sure I'm not looking in the right places.<BR/><BR/>Also, once upon a time you recommended "For All the Saints" by the ALPB to me. I bought two volumes of it and it has been very helpful.
