The Hidden Flame: The Mystical Power of the Jesus Prayer

The Hidden Flame: The Mystical Power of the Jesus Prayer by Steven Van de Berg is a spiritual guide that explores the transformative potential of the Jesus Prayer. Drawing from the wisdom of the Desert Fathers and centuries of Christian mysticism, the book unveils how a simple yet profound prayer, "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner," can ignite a spiritual flame within, leading to inner peace, healing, and deeper communion with God.

The book invites readers on a journey through the heart of Christian mysticism, exploring themes like the purification of the soul, the practice of continuous prayer, and the pursuit of divine union (Theosis). It provides practical exercises, historical insights, and modern testimonies, making the age-old spiritual practice accessible to contemporary seekers.

Whether you are new to prayer or looking to deepen your spiritual practice, "The Hidden Flame" offers a path to awaken the inner light, guiding readers towards a life of serenity, clarity, and spiritual renewal.
