A Little Book for Ordinary People
Evelyn Underhill’s “little book for ordinary people” explains in plain language the meaning of mysticism, how it can be experienced and how it can transform our lives. Beginning with the reality and importance of mystical experience, this book guides readers in training their attention, developing spiritual self-discipline, and focusing upon their deepest being. Introducing the three forms of contemplation—the discovery of God in every aspect of creation; a fuller realization of union with God; and finally unmeasured, energetic love—Underhill leads readers to become new people relating to a larger, deeper and broader world.
