An Anthology of Christian Mysticism:
The Basic Writings of the Greatest Christian Mystics
edited with biographical notes by Paul de Jaegher
|
Seventeen men and women, including John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, John Ruysbroeck, Catherine of Siena, Walter Hilton and other recognized instructors in the spiritual life are gathered here in one volume. This introduction to mysticism will fascinate those who come to the subject for the first time, and for those already familiar with the enquiry it will provide a valuable one-volume reference work. It is ironic that in a time when many people are turning to Eastern religions for information about mysticism, the great masters of our own tradition are ignored. This volume will help to remedy the situation.

The Fire of Silence and Stillness:
An Anthology of Quotations for the Spiritual Journey
edited by Paul Harris
|
The men and women quoted in these pages had a mission in common: to relate their particular time and culture to eternity and the things of the spirit. Their prophetic voice rings out through the ages.
In our electronic age of fleeting ephemeral images, the spiritual profundity and eloquence of the past take on added significance. This book displays not only the wisdom of the past but also prominent religious guides of modern time. The voices of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Thomas Merton, Bede Griffiths, Helder Camara, T.S. Eliot, Anne Frank, Etty Hillesum, Madeleine L'Engle, Simone Weil and Mother Teresa blend harmoniously with those from the Gospels, the Psalmist, the Upanishads, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, John Wesley, Dostoevsky and Marcus Aurelius and many others.
