Christian Mysticism

By John W S Howard

What does it truly mean to know God-not merely through doctrine, but through a living, personal relationship with Him?

Christian Mysticism invites readers on a profound journey into the heart of the Christian faith, where prayer becomes communion, Scripture becomes transformation, and ordinary life becomes a place of encounter with the living Christ.

Drawing from the Bible, the wisdom of the early Church, and the writings of influential Christian mystics such as Rufus Jones, Evelyn Underhill, St. Teresa of vila, St. John of the Cross, and many others, this book presents a thoughtful and accessible introduction to the contemplative tradition. It demonstrates that Christian mysticism is not an escape from the world but a deeper participation in God's presence that transforms both the individual and society.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

The biblical foundations of Christian mysticism.The beliefs and practices that have shaped the mystical tradition throughout Church history.The lives and teachings of influential Christian mystics.How prayer, contemplation, silence, and surrender deepen one's relationship with God.Practical ways to unite the inner spiritual life with everyday responsibilities.The marks of authentic Christian mysticism and how to discern genuine spiritual growth.A balanced, Christ-centered approach to contemplative living rooted in Scripture and historic Christianity.

Written in an engaging and approachable style, Christian Mysticism is suitable for pastors, Bible students, spiritual directors, theologians, and anyone longing for a richer, more intimate walk with Christ. Rather than presenting mysticism as something reserved for monks or saints, this book reveals it as the calling of every believer who desires to love God more deeply and reflect His presence in the world.

Whether you are beginning your spiritual journey or seeking to renew your faith through the timeless wisdom of the Christian mystical tradition, this book offers practical guidance, theological depth, and enduring encouragement to help you grow in the transforming presence of God.
