Book Reviews of Mystics
Book Review: A Fascinating Overview
Summary: 5 Stars
If I could give this book 6 stars I would. The author's gift for explaining important, though complex issues of concern for the dozen mystics discussed is amazing. Although the majority of the chapters are devoted to Christian mystics, I was genuinely impressed by the non-judgmental, thoroughly objective handling of Zen Buddhist and Islamic (Rumi) mystics. This work is truly a delight to read and will give the desire to explore the lives and works of lesser known souls who devoted themselves to finding an ultimate reality.
