Publisher's Synopsis
This book is two works in one volume: Evelyn Underhill's classic "Practical Mysticism" and a Christian Meditation Practice Guide by Tim Langdell."Evelyn Underhill held the tension between intellect and intimacy in her longing to be holy. At first, she only trusted her intellect and studied holiness methodically and empirically. She became known as the Anglican woman who awakened Protestants to the Catholic mystics...Through her study of the mystics and even more through her lived experiences, Underhill emphasized that the mystical state of union with God produces creative action in the world." - Richard RohrThis is one of several books that Evelyn Underhill wrote on mysticism, the first being her highly successful work Mysticism: A Study of the Nature and Development of Man's Spiritual Consciousness. This edition of the classic work by Underhill also contains a Christian Meditation Practice Guide by Tim Langdell
