"Takes a biographical/historical approach rather than a practical one, discussing types of mysticism or mystical experiences through the lives and deeds of well-known mystics such as Brother Lawrence and Therese of Lisieux. A fine if brief introduction to the field,"---Library Journal. 191 pages, softcover. Paraclete.

The award-winning author of several books on spirituality deals with the question of mysticism in this fascinating, informal introduction. Using biblical and early Christian sources as well as modern examples, Griffin draws a picture of the mystical life, focusing on how Christian mysticism parallels to other world religions.
