I am so pleased to tell you, dear reader, that today is the publishing date for my new book, “Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer: Experiencing the Presence of God and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of An Ancient Spirituality.”

Eight years in the making, it’s a travelogue of the mind, heart and spirit. Travel along with me to faraway places, where people have left the world, in search of God. Come along as we travel along to Mt. Sinai, Egypt, Greece, Romania, Ukraine and Russia. Meet people who spend their days and nights in prayer for the world, and for you and me.

Discover their insights. Learn about the ancient wisdom of Jesus Christ, the history of monasticism and the Church, and the power of this ancient prayer.

It comes in several forms: “Lord have mercy,” or “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.” And later, the Russian addition of “…have mercy on me, a sinner.”

The companion film is visible everywhere. On the iTunes store, on DVD, and a short version beginning to be broadcast of public TV stations.
