Gleb Pokrovsky. Skylight Paths Publishing, $14.95 (144pp) ISBN 978-1-893361-31-7
A famous 19th-century Russian spirituality text finds new expression in The Way of a Pilgrim: Annotated & Explained, translated by Gleb Pokrovsky. In the story, a wandering mendicant learns the Jesus Prayer (""Jesus Christ, have mercy on me"") and becomes utterly transformed by praying it continuously. Pokrovsky's commentary appears on facing pages to the abridged text, explaining issues such as Orthodox liturgical customs and the revitalization of Russian monasticism. This volume is the launch title of SkyLight Paths' SkyLight Illuminations series, which will reissue classic spirituality texts from many different world religions.
