The first section of \u003cem\u003eThe Jesus Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e offers a concise overview of the history, theology, and spirituality of Orthodoxy, so that the Prayer can be understood in its native context. Following, is a conversational question-and-answer format that takes the reader through practical steps for adopting this profound practice in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederica Mathewes-Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557256594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557256591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2009 pg. 66","brand":"Frederica Mathewes-Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052345487615,"sku":"9781557256591","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1d3afa4-077f-4d9f-8076-4853b1ead99e.jpg?v=1685018290","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jesus-prayer-frederica-mathewes-green-9781557256591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
