The classic of Russian spirituality—now with facing-page commentary that illuminates and explains the text.
The Way of a Pilgrim is the timeless account of an anonymous wanderer who set out on a journey across nineteenth-century Russia with nothing but a backpack, some bread, and a Bible, with a burning desire to learn the true meaning of the words of St. Paul: "Pray without ceasing." In this completely accessible new abridgment, all the terms and references are explained for you--with intriguing insights into aspects of the text that are often not available to the general reader.
“The pilgrim’s is a way of great simplicity. Even so, some guidance is necessary to understand it. Now, for the first time in English, comes a truly useful version of the beloved classic of Russian spirituality—one that allows us to actually follow the pilgrim on his way.” —Clark Strand, author, The Wooden Bowl: Simple Meditations for Everyday Life
“I will be recommending this new translation to those interested in learning about the Jesus prayer. Thanks to the helpful annotations, it will be a most useful resource.” —Frederica Matthewes-Green, National Public Radio commentator; author, Facing East and At the Corner of East and Now: A Modern Life in Ancient Christian Orthodoxy
