Merton and Hesychasm: The Prayer of the Heart (The Fons Vitae Thomas Merton Series) Paperback – 1 Jan. 2003

This book is a an incredible resource for followers of the Hesychast tradition. The book is in three parts. I. Hesychasm: The gift of Eastern Christianity To Spiritual Practice. II. Thomas Merton and Eastern Christianity. III. Hesychasm in the writings of Thomas Merton. Not only contains instructions for beginning the Prayer of the Heart, but reflections on its long use by Bp Kallistos Ware, Abp. Rowan Williams and Merton himself to name but three.For me it has come to be a resource along with the Philokalia and The Way of the Pilgrim.Excellent!
