An Inner Step Toward God: Writings and
Teachings on Prayer by Father Alexander Men
From the book seller:
This book is for any Christian who desires a more regular prayer
practice and a deeper connection with God. Available for the first
time in English, this collection of Father Alexander Men's prayers and
teachings and writings on prayer center on the theme of taking "an inner
step of faith" toward God. Many topics are covered including prayer as
loving response to God, the body and prayer, prayer as sacramental encounter,
meditation in prayer, and exercises that may enhance prayer.
Father Alexander Men (1935-1990_ was a popular Russian Orthodox
priest, author of Son of Man, and spiritual teacher in the former
USSR. After his high profile murder in 1990, his legacy has continued to grow
in Russia and around the world. For
many years, translator Christa Belyaeva lived in Moscow, where she converted to
Orthodoxy and worshipped at the Church of the Dormition with people who knew
Fr. Alexander personally.
Those
new to Orthodoxy as well as cradle Orthodox can find joy from this book as it
is a helpful guide to a more meaningful prayer life. An Inner Step Toward God is now available in the church bookstore
and library. The Book Discussion will be held at 7:00, October 13, 2016 in the church parlor
Please note: Discussions of spiritual material with your
father confessor, spiritual father or mother are always strongly encouraged.
