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. \u003ci\u003eThe Way of the Mystics\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A Journey to the Heart of Our Faith 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of the Desert: Antony and the Desert Fathers 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Love: Bernard of Clairvaux 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Visions: Hildegard of Bingen 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Joy: Francis of Assisi 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Suffering: Catherine of Siena 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Service: Ignatius of Loyola 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Union: Teresa of Avila 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Darkness: John of the Cross 133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of the Artist: John Donne and England's Metaphysical Poets 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of the Inner Light: George Fox 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of the Pilgrim: Lessons on Prayer from an Unknown Seeker 185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Childlike Love: Thérèse of Lisieux 203\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of the Modern Mystic: Thomas Merton 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Authors 233\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Religion \u0026amp; beliefs [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Religion \u0026amp; beliefs\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Religion%20\u0026amp;%20beliefs%20%5BHR%5D%22\"\u003eHR\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52462936195352,"sku":"9780787984564","price":12.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780787984564.jpg?v=1785542955","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-way-of-the-mystics-ancient-wisdom-for-experiencing-god-today-paperback-softback-9780787984564","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
