Answering the Contemplative Call: First Steps on the Mystical Path

The mystical path is not some sort of static experience for the select few says Carl McColman rather it is a living tradition a rich and many-layered dimension of spirituality that is in large measure a quest to find the mysteries at the heart of the universe paradoxically nestled within the heart of your own soul. McColman first introduced readers to Christianitys lost mystical roots in his popular book The Big Book of Christian Mysticism. Now McColman is back with Answering the Contemplative Call to show readers how to apply the riches of the mystical tradition to daily living. McColman quotes from the great mystics of the Christian tradition who have also traveled this path including Teresa of Avila Thomas Merton Evelyn Underhill and more. In Answering the Contemplative Call McColman offers a practice that will help readers come to a place meaning and purpose in their lives.
