Two volumes lie behind this one. The first set out the knowledge of God; the second, the end for which man was made and the healing by which he is brought to it. Both would remain a description of a country never visited if nothing were said about the road. This volume is about the road.

The fathers used the word theoria for the vision of God: not speculation about Him, but the beholding of Him by a heart that has been made still and clean. No one arrives there by reading. He arrives by prayer.

The chapters move in a deliberate order: from prayer itself to the inner kingdom, the Name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and faith and its fruit. This is the volume that gives the whole work its name, for Mnēmē Theou, the remembrance of God, is the deliberate keeping of God before the heart.
