It is true that prayer teaches prayer, but only once one has begun to pray in one's heart as does the author of this remarkable little book by an American Orthodox Deacon. In this book you will not meet the voice of dogma, nor of intellectual theology, yet here in these few pages you will find a familiar voice, as well as some of the most penetrating advice on what is sometimes called interior prayer ever given in the English language. For those who can hear it knocks on the door of the heart. What the author has learned in developing his own ability to pray can help others to pray in a similar manner. By Thomas Johnson-Medland
