In The Way of the Mystics we are invited to take a journey
to the heart of our faith by examining the stories of thirteen of
Christian history's most revered mystics. These spiritual pioneers
devoted their lives to exploring a deeper communion with God and
through their examples show us how we can apply spiritual wisdom to
our own lives. The mystics featured in this book are from different
centuries, countries, and Christian traditions but all have been
divinely blessed to transcend the limitations of worldly concerns
and fully enter the spiritual realm¾a place that so often
seems closed off to us. The Way of the Mystics offers
insights into the lives of such familiar figures as St. Francis of
Assisi, Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Merton, and others. The authors
explore these spiritual giants' experiences, the movements they
founded or influenced, and the controversies they generated,
offering nuggets of truth distilled from their voluminous and often
enigmatic writings. In addition, the book offers practical
suggestions for applying the mystics' wisdom to our lives, enabling
us to better pursue a deeper relationship with God.
