An Introduction to the Practice of Christian Mysticism -- What is the real world? Is it the world of McDonald's golden arches, taxes, denture cleaners, breakfast food commercials and credit cards? No, that is the dream world. The real world is a world most of us see but dimly, if indeed we see it at all, but it is nevertheless really and immediately here. We have but to cross a border to encounter it and that border is one we carry within us. If we live and move and have our being exclusively in the pleasant company of our jogging companions, among our computer keyboards, mutual funds, television programs and restaurants we've lost our way. In this book, Russell Hart shows how we may at least begin to make such a modification, to begin the ascent, to cross the border.
