Early fathers from the Philokalia, together with some writingsof St Abba Dor otheus, St Isaac of Syria and St Gregory Palamas

Ancient Christian spiritual guide to intimacy with God. This is the book used by the author of Way of a Pilgrim. It focuses more on the prayerful apects of hesychasm than the much longer, multi-volume translation of the Greek Philokalia. This book offers a more concise and spiritual introduction by the fathers to prayer than the somewhat overwhelming Greek version.
