Publisher's summary

Christianity is a mysterious faith. Some of these mysteries can be described with Scripture or doctrine, but others can only be experienced. Those graced with these experiences, these intimate glimpses of God, are called mystics. Murray Bodo's sensitive guidance leads us into the heart of what these mystics have expressed about God and how their insight can deepen our own experience of the boundless mystery of a loving God.

This updated and expanded edition includes new chapters on St. Clare and St. Bonaventure.

Critic reviews

Because I share my brother Murray’s lifetime fascination with the mystics, I sort of assumed there would not be much new here for me (which is called pride!). Honestly, it was not true! I kept discovering new facts, quotes, insights, historical contexts that presented each of these figures in a much more exciting and yet also imitable way. What a treat it was to read this book. And now I am quite sure it will be a treat for you too. (Richard Rohr, OFM)

The Way of the Mystics

At first I was surprised by the author's commentary. I was expecting, rather, a compendium of separate stories. By the end I felt schooled in the way-of-mystics, a much richer experience for me as listener
