An Inside Look at The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism

Excerpt from the Preface

Mysticism has the potential to help us see everything in new and different ways—especially all of our cherished beliefs, sacred cows, and dogmatic illusions. It undermines all of our settled ways of looking at things, not because it seeks to cause chaos, but rather because it helps us open our hearts and minds to something that cannot be captured in dogma, or theology, or philosophy. That secret, that “something,” cannot be put into words. Perhaps the word God is as good as any other.
