This impressive tome includes all 63 of St. Gregory’s Homilies together with indexes of scriptural references, names, subjects, Greek words and over 1000 notes and scholia. An earlier 2 volume edition of St. Gregories Homilies did not include any of these tools which transform this work into a valuable reference resource.

This is the classic work on the Jesus Prayer in which St. Ignatius Brianchaninov explains the pertinent works by various Holy Fathers of the Philokalia for beginners. If you are using the Jesus Prayer you should read this book.

The Philokalia and other books on the Jesus Prayer never talk about the earlier stages of prayer. Talking about them was unnecessary because at one time these stages were commonly known. This new book is especially for beginners (and we are all beginners here). It focuses on the life and writings of Archbishop Anthony Golynsky-Mihaelovsky and Elder Joseph the Hesychast, a Russian and a Greek from the last century, on the beginning stages of prayer. This is a short book–103 pages– and very valuable for those using the Jesus Prayer. Published by Birth of the Mother of God Monastery in Ohio. $10
