Perhaps the first full and clear explanation of how to use daily prayer as a path of spiritual development, written during the last times of classical Russian monasticism by Saint Theophan the Recluse (B. 1815, D. 1894), scholar, bishop, hermit, and 'Staretz', one of the inspired teachers of the Eastern Church. He was described by Sergius Bolshakoff in his book 'Russian Mystics' as, 'One of the greatest of all mystics of that mystical land, Russia'. The book also contains a selection of prayers by the early fathers of the church chosen to aid the reader who wants to put the ideas of this book into practice.
