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.
