Review & Description
An audio book of a 6-CD set that contains the 19th century Russian spiritual classic on prayer that has long fascinated those who have stumbled on this winsome tale. First published in Russian in 1884, this religious masterpiece recounts the adventures of an anonymous Russian pilgrim who roams the vast Siberian steppes reciting the Jesus Prayer in order to obey Christ's injunction to "pray without ceasing." Apparently a wise old monk collected for posterity the captivating accounts of the pilgrim's exploits and his increasing understanding of God's providence as he commits himself to a life of prayer. The manuscript, which began to circulate privately after the pilgrim disappeared headed for Jerusalem, has been reissued in a translation by R.M. French narrated here by Sue Talley. The pilgrim's charming tales and dedicated life-style are an inspirational challenge for all who would discover their own spiritual roots, pursue the contemplative life or assimilate their piety to our modern society. Many use this unique devotional tale and refer to it often for they have found it a comforting source of hope when they encounter trials along life's way. Read more
