Guarding the Heart: The Jesus Prayer for a Deceived Age

Guarding the Heart: The Jesus Prayer for a Deceived Age is a profound and timely exploration of the ancient Orthodox path of inner prayer in a world drowning in noise, distraction, and spiritual confusion. Drawing deeply from Scripture and the writings of the Holy Fathers, Robert Scott offers a clear, sober guide to cultivating the Jesus Prayer amid the pressures of modern culture, digital overstimulation, and the rising spirit of deception foretold in the last times. With pastoral warmth and patristic precision, this book leads readers from the first steps of watchfulness and repentance to the quiet sanctuary of the heart, where Christ Himself dwells and guards His faithful. For every believer seeking stability, discernment, and peace in an age of spiritual darkness, this work is both a lifeline and a call to holiness.
