The Jesus Prayer is a timeless cornerstone of Orthodox Christian spirituality, guiding believers into the heart of contemplative prayer. Rooted in the ancient hesychastic tradition, this concise yet profound book explores the theology, practice, and transformative power of invoking the name of Jesus with simplicity and reverence. Drawing from the wisdom of the Church Fathers and spiritual masters, The Jesus Prayer presents both the historical roots of this prayer and practical guidance for incorporating it into daily life.

Accessible to both newcomers to Orthodox spirituality and seasoned contemplatives, this volume offers insight into the purpose and meaning of the Jesus Prayer — not merely as a liturgical formula, but as a way of life that opens the heart to God’s presence. Whether used for personal devotion, communal worship preparation, or spiritual study, The Jesus Prayer remains an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper communion with Christ through the living tradition of the Church.

    The Jesus Prayer

    Posted by Bishop Kallistos Ware, from the Foreword on 10th Jun 2020

    Indeed, there are good reasons to believe that the "way of the name," as he calls it, is being followed by more Christians in our own day than ever before - a striking sign of hope in an age of anxiety. Simple yet profound, this book reveals to us the secret of the continuing attraction exercised by the Jesus Prayer. Since its first appearance some thirty-five years ago, it has become a minor "classic" of the spiritual life, and it still remains the best introduction to the subject.
