Originally published in 1914, this book brings up the interesting theory that we are all able to 'tap' into our spiritual powers and may enhance our lives if we do so. 'The spiritual life is not a special career, involving abstraction from the world of things. It is a part of every man's life and until he has realised it he is not a complete human being, has not entered into possession of all his powers.' Contents Include: What is Mysticism? T...

The "Nicene Creed" is recited whenever Anglicans celebrate the Eucharist. It is an extraordinary piece of writing, dating from the fourth century, as the early fathers of the church struggled to define who Jesus was - within the context of monotheism. Underhill's book is a reflection on the Creed that constitutes a deep spiritual reflection of the three primary areas: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This volume will appeal to those w...

He distrusted ¿psychic phenomena, ¿ believing they were ¿the accidents rather than the substance of the contemplative life, ¿ and quite possibly the work of the Devil. He f...

Mystics are artists, and the stuff in which they work is most often human life. They want to heal the disharmony between the actual and the real: and since, in the white-hot radiance of that faith, hope, and charity which burns in them, they discern such a reconciliation to be possible, they are able to work for it with a singleness of purpose and an invincible optimism denied to other men.
