Translation of: Otkrovennye rasskazy strannika dukhovnomu svoemu ottsu and Iz rasskazov strannika o blagodatnom deistvii molitvy Iisusovoi.
"Come along with the Pilgrim on his winding, joyful path to spiritual enlightenment. Follow this anonymous nineteenth-century wayfarer as he takes you over the steppes of his mother Russia in search of the answer to the one compelling question: How does one pray constantly? Finally, share in his deep joy when the search turns up unexpected treasure: the "Jesus Prayer,"handed down by untold generations of Orthodox believers.
The Way of a Pilgrim is a spiritual classic ripe for renewed appreciation in our day. For the recent changes in Russia have revealed the great religious traditions of that land. And this work, freshly translated for our time, is among the finest examples of that centuries-old faith.
For the Pilgrim the old becomes new again. The great words of prayer from the ancient Christian past come alive in his joyful heart. And as they come alive for him, the come alive for us also. For he is Everyman, and his hope-filled seeking evokes the longing of every pilgrim heart."--
