From New Testament times to the present day, it reveals the life and teachings of the greatest Christian mystics including: · Jesus, St John and St Paul · The Early Church Fathers – Clement, Origen, Gregory of Nyssa · Desert Mothers and Fathers · the Monastics – Benedict, Francis · the early English mystics – Julian of Norwich, Marjorie Kemp and Walter Hilton · the European tradition – St John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Meister Eckhart · the poets – Traherne, George Herbert · modern day mystics – Merton, Bede Griffiths, John Main Winner at the Catholic Press Association Awards: Popular presentation of the Catholic faith 2nd prize
