Description

The Philokalia: A Companion for Your Spiritual Journey This collection of writings by Eastern Christian monks offers a unique perspective on spiritual growth and contemplative practices. Translated into English, the title "Philokalia" reflects the text's emphasis on loving the beautiful and engaging all senses in acts of worship and prayer. Allyne Smith's thoughtful selection focuses on seven key themes that recur throughout the five-volume work, including repentance, the heart, prayer, and stillness. His facing-page commentary provides a clear understanding of the historical and spiritual context, clarifying core teachings and drawing connections to modern-day practices such as contemplative prayer. This edition of the Philokalia makes it accessible to readers with no prior knowledge of Eastern Christianity, offering a journey through this beloved text that explores how its teachings can help you become by grace what God is by nature.
