Sinossi
I padri della chiesa, profondamente radicati nella Scrittura, ci hanno lasciato in eredità un ricco tesoro non solo di testi ma anche di modi, forme, gesti di preghiera . Oggi, soprattutto il cristianesimo occidentale, ha bisogno di riscoprire l'intima unione che deve esistere - nella preghiera come in ogni aspetto della vita cristiana - tra teoria e prassi, tra contemplazione e esercizio pratico. A pregare si impara pregando, e tutto il nostro essere è chiamato a partecipare a quest'opera: la mente, il cuore, ma anche il corpo, lo sguardo, i sensi. L'autore - eremita di grande discernimento spirituale, profondo conoscitore di Evagrio e dei padri del deserto, ma soprattutto uomo di intensa preghiera - ripercorre con sapiente coerenza questa compenetrazione tra ciò che si crede e ciò che si esprime nella pratica della preghiera: una riscoperta affascinante del tesoro prezioso contenuto nei vasi di argilla dei nostri corpi.

**Update: I have been told that since this book was written Fr Bunge converted to Orthodoxy.** Absolutely amazing! If there were a handbook for prayer that was handed out at baptism this should be it. The author clearly understands and loves prayer, and this shows through on every page. Some of the t Leggi tutto
Practice and Theory I have an Evangelical background, and so I am a relative newcomer to the language of prayer that Fr. Gabriel Bunge outlines here. The emphasis on understanding and sound practice, grounded in the writings of the Church Fathers and the Holy Bible, is the lesson on prayer that many Leggi tutto
"The true Christian is like a soldier. Prayer is his "fortified wall of faith" and his "weapon of defense and attack" against the enemy who lies in ambush for us on every side". Great book!

This book will teach you how to pray in an authentic way. It is worth reading if you want to start praying or if you want to begin praying again. For those who are seeking how to keep their spiritual life from going dry this is your book!
Gabriel Bunge is fully immersed in the Fathers of the Church. If you want to know how to pray, what to pray, where to pray, when you pray according to the Holy Fathers, this is your book.
This book offers a great overview of the prayer practices of the Early Church Fathers and insights into these practices. The text is very simple and straightforward, and I can't but recommend it to anyone wishing to improve their own prayer life.
If you want to know why you ought to be facing east when you pray, read this book. It's interesting, insightful, and gives a different take on the methodology of prayer than evangelicals like me usually get.
Awesome book on personal prayer.Explains very profound ideas in a very clear way. This is a keeper. I would also add that I had never considered outward forms, such as facing East as important. This book has helped me understand some of the rituals that we have forgotten along the way.
