{"product_id":"practical-mysticism","title":"Practical Mysticism","description":"\u003cb\u003eTwo classics in one volume that show a British poet and mystic to be one of the most authoritative modern voices on mysticism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"God gives without stint all that the creature needs, but it must do its part. He gives the wheat: we must reap and grind and bake it.\" -Evelyn Underhill \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten on the eve of World War I, \u003ci\u003e Practical Mysticism\u003c\/i\u003e reviews the works of the greatest Western mystics, including Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, and Thomas à Kempis. Underhill's goal is to guide her readers on a journey toward mystical consciousness, to teach them to see the \"eternal beauty beyond and beneath apparent ruthlessness.\"\u003ci\u003e Abba, \u003c\/i\u003e first published in 1940, takes as its starting point the seven phrases of the Lord's Prayer, using them as a means to propel the self toward union with God. In these important works, Underhill brings an often esoteric subject onto a practical footing, showing that the profound gifts of mysticism are not only for the few but are within reach of us all.","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833727463629,"sku":"9780375725708","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_ed0b841c-86c3-4926-9119-77633fe9baec.jpg?v=1790894483","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/practical-mysticism","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
