This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Introduction to Catholic Mysticism Originally published in 1915, 'Practical Mysticism' is a work by one of the foremost 20th century Christian mystics, Evelyn Underhill. 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."" Abba, 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. Written on the eve of World War I," Practical Mysticism reviews the works of the greatest Western mystics, including Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, and Thomas a Kempis. In these two classics, British poet and mystic Evelyn Underhill shows herself to be one of the most authoritative modern voices on mysticism. ![]() ![]() He gives the wheat: we must reap and grind and bake it." -Evelyn Underhill "God gives without stint all that the creature needs, but it must do its part. ![]()
