The Journey East is a rich and practical resource, drawing upon the deep wells of the spirituality of the Christian East, by one rooted in the monastic life of the Christian West showing how to breathe with both lungs of the Christian tradition. Arranged as a thirty-six-day itinerary with meditations on different aspects of the spiritual journey, each ending with questions inviting further reflection so that what is offered is made part of our own life and practice, we are led deeper into the mystery of hesychia, the stillness in which we come to know God and ourselves. The wisdom distilled in this small book is sure to bear fruit in the lives of those who read and practice it.
