Summary: Bloom is a spiritual hero.
Review: Anthony Bloom is one of my spiritual heros. In fact I drew from his work in writing "Paths to Pray: Finding Your Own Way to the Presence of God" (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2003). Because of his ground-breaking work I was able to extend prayer to set forth over 40 ways to pray from over 2000 years of Christian history including prayer shawls, labyrinths, mandalas, novenas and more. I've attempted to write with sensitivity, depth and comprehension.

Review: Metropolitan Antony Bloom wrote one of the best, easy to read, start from the basics to advance levels, book about prayer. Learn the meanings behind, different methods & levels, & what is beyond prayer. Written from an Eastern Orthodox Christian Monastic Mystical perspective that any person can benefit. Sections include the Lord's prayer, Jesus prayer, & silent prayer. If your looking for a spiritual father, or a book on historical practical prayer, this is it.

Summary: Simply an excellent companion for the journey into prayer
Review: This little book rewards and challenges the reader on every page. Yes, it is a book on prayer, and undertaking the subject deeply brings the reader face to face with topics of genuine friendship, forgiveness, and how to approach thinking about God. There is grist enough for a lifetime at the prayer-mill. Some chapter topics include:• The Lord's Prayer
• Meditation and worship
• The Jesus Prayer
• Unanswered prayer and petition
• Silence To name topics seems almost a foolish exercise, because in each of the chapters mentioned and in the rest of this book there is such scope and depth. For Metropolitan Anthony, it was impossible to separate the language of prayer from our need for a personal relationship with the living God. If you sense that this pre-supposition may be true, then this is a fine book to guide your journey.
