Mysticism in Religion and the Christian Church

This volume contains two books previously published by the author:

Mystics: A Thousand Paths to a Single Door

and

Mystical Christianity

The purpose of this book is to lead the reader from a general overview of mysticism in various religion to a focus on the Christian mystical experience. It is hoped that the reader will join in this amazing, deep and rich way of life. Modern religion is failing to provide true spiritual nourishment for many followers. This is not a new condition. Yet, each time the flame has faltered, it has been saved and re-ignited by the mystics, who have kept a deep and abiding connection to God alive and burning in their hearts. Sadly, the path of mysticism is fading in today's shallow and hurried world. Now, it is up to us to become the mystics.
