the way of a pilgrim

[katherine2001]

Check your local library. Believe it or not, mine has it in the Religion section. It might be worth it to check. Also, maybe it is in your parish library. You might want to check there as well.

My priest is starting off the new Bible study in January with this book. I'm just praying that I can get childcare worked out so that hubby and I can go to the study so that we can both grow spiritually individually and together.

Who is it written by? There are two in Light and Life Publishing:

Way of a Pilgrim: Jesus Prayer Journey, The

and

Way of a Pilgrim and Pilgrim continues on His Way



I take it it's the first one???? Or are neither of them correct?

The latter is what I was recommended and read. The "Pilgrim Continues His Way" is actually the second part of the book. Perhaps the former listing is a modern relisting of the book? I'm not sure about what that is exactly.

Thanks, proto and ortho.

 

[Paisius]

has anyone read this book?
i just started it as a book i want to read for advent
I really like it a lot so far

Read it for the first time earlier this year. I know it sounds cliche but it absolutely changed my life.

Yes, it was life-changing for me too.

I think the Lord was leading me to Orthodoxy in stages.

 

[Annoula]

very nice book!

 

[Rhamiel]

are both parts written by the same person?

 

[Megaloskhemos]

It's not possible to know for sure, but I've read somewhere that The Pilgrim Continues His Way was written by an Athonite monk after the first book became popular in the Orthodox world to explain more technical details of the spiritual life. It's not a bad assumption from my experience reading them, as there is certainly a change in writing style between the two books (the first is seems more like an authentic personal journal, the second is more scholarly).

Reading The Way of a Pilgrim should be a basic human right. I can't recommend it enough

 

[MariaRegina]

Welcome lighthouse hope!

Can't remember exactly, but when the pilgrim reached some place, two children run to him, delighted at the opportunity of sharing their wealth with some poor person.
