Christian Mystics: 108 Seers, Saints and Sages celebrates the many types of mystics, visionaries, wisdom keepers, and non-dualists whose spiritual insight and perceptive teachings have illuminated the Christian tradition for the past two thousand years. Looking at 108 mystics from Biblical times to the present day, this user-friendly guide shows how the spiritual masters of the western tradition provide a variety of paths into the transforming heart of God. Everyone needs teachers and companions to guide and nurture us in developing rich interior lives -- as we seek to respond to the beatifying, deifying love of God. The mystics, whose legacy includes sublime poetry, fascinating autobiographies, and potentially life-changing teachings, can help anyone find greater love, purpose, and a deeper sense of God's presence. But the mystics are not a uniform bunch, which is why this book is such an essential guide to their lives, wisdom, and essential teachings. Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism, organizes the mystics into nine categories: visionaries, confessors, lovers, poets, saints, heretics, wisdom keepers, soul-friends, and unitives. By profiling twelve examples of great mystics and spiritual teachers in each category, the book can help you to learn more about the mystics, and identify those whose writings will be most valuable to you as you pursue your own adventure of falling ever more deeply in love with God.All of the most famous Christian mystics are profiled here: figures like Teresa of çvila, Meister Eckhart, Julian of Norwich, John of the Cross, Evelyn Underhill, Thomas Merton, and anonymous masters like the authors of classics like The Cloud of Unknowing or The Way of a Pilgrim. But the book also will introduce you to many lesser known (but truly wonderful) mystical geniuses, such as Beatrice of Nazareth, Gregory of Narek, and Coventry Patmore. Nor does the book shy away from living (or recently living) mystics: visionaries such as Howard Thurman, Sara Grant, Kenneth Leech, and Bruno Barnhart are all included.This informative volume will appeal to those who buy religious reference books and anyone interested in Christian mysticism or western spirituality. But it's more than just a history book or an encyclopedia: Christian Mystics: 108 Seers, Saints and Sages is a curated celebration of western spiritual wisdom, making it accessible for all seekers today.

The lives of the saints who helped build the Catholic Church in the United States--Frances Cabrini, Isaac Jogues, John Neumann, Elizabeth Ann Seton, and Damien de Veuster, among others--are marked by strength, courage, determination, and sanctity. But as this thoughtful and engaging book points out, these saints also could be foolhardy, obstinate, stubborn, and dismissive. In other words, they were a lot like everyone, with a mixture of different qualities and characteristics. What makes the stories of the thirteen men and women in Fearless so compelling is that a distinctly American way of holiness begins to emerge from their lives and their work. These were people who walked the streets of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Denver. They traveled along California' s coast and into the Southwest, penetrated the heartland of Indiana and Missouri, and reached out into the territorial islands of the United States. Captivating illustrations for each saint highlight the depth of their souls, and give readers an idea of the strong characteristics exemplified by these men and women. Fearless will bring the reader through the history of the Catholic Church in America in an intimate and personal way, with the stories of the saints and blessed who helped Christianity become part of this country' s fabric. These men and women did not set out to be saints, only to live out the Gospel as they best knew how. They followed their hearts and God' s will to build a better place for the people of the New World.

This is a user-friendly and potentially life-changing introduction to the wisdom teachings of 108 of the greatest mystics in the Western tradition.

It celebrates the universal power and wisdom of the teachings of the mystics, highlighting the ways in which their words can help anyone find greater love, purpose and a deeper sense of God's presence. McColman organizes the mystics into nine categories: visionaries, confessors, lovers, poets, saints, heretics, wisdom keepers, soul-friends and unitives, and he covers a wide range of mystics including Martin Luther King, Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, Dag Hammarskjold and C.S. Lewis, plus Evelyn Underhill, Simone Weil, Thomas Merton and Bede Griffiths.

The purpose of this book is to give you an informal glimpse of astonishing personalities within the Latter-Day Saint Movement. This work is for informational purposes aimed at your personal enlightenment and not designed to be placed within the academic field. It may be considered as a guidebook, or a "Who's Who," revealing remarkable individuals related to the theme of this book. Simply put, this book is basically a narrative of "free-spirited" individuals associated with the movement by birth, membership or association along with their notable achievements. As you have noticed, the title introduces three words: Seers, Saints, and Sinners. Within the context of this book, we must know the meanings of these words as they are applied herein. By definition, a "seer" is a person who sees things others cannot, a person who prophesies future events, a person endowed with profound moral and spiritual insight or knowledge, or a person who is reputed to have special powers of divination, as a crystal gazer or palmist. You will discover Joseph Smith was not the only personality claiming to be a seer to guide his followers. During the early days of the Latter-Day Saint Movement up to the present, there have been numerous individuals claiming to have received revelations from God. They truly believed in their seership, and convinced many members of the movement to follow them. The majority of these kinds of seers are connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, claiming the church is in a state of apostasy or have received new scriptures from God. Most people understand the word "saint" pertains to an individual of exceptional virtue, benevolence, and holiness of life, formally recognized as such by the Christian Church, especially by canonization. As used in this book, a saint is a founder, sponsor, or patron, of a movement or organization. In certain religious groups, such as those of the Latter-Day Saint Movement, the word is applied by the members to themselves. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints specifically refer to themselves as "saints." This book will cover the full spectrum of saints from persons not in harmony with church doctrines to those with an unwavering testimony, faith, and commitment towards the benefit of all humanity regardless of gender, race, or religion. Obviously, we all know what a "sinner" is. By definition a sinner is a person who has broken a religious or moral law; one that has voluntarily violated the divine law; a moral agent who has voluntarily disobeyed any divine precept, or neglected any known duty; an unregenerate person; one who has not received the pardon of his sins. I felt obligated to reveal a few sinners that either rebelled against the movement for selfish and personal glorification, or committed serious infractions of moral laws. Some deliberately used deception to challenge the church. Those that have committed murder and mayhem are surely classified as sinners, and several are mentioned in this work. As this book is organized into informal short accounts, please take your time going over each profile or casually read them in any preferred order. From the examples of those presented in this book we should never be ashamed to be different from our peers. The world is a better place when we have variety of thoughts and actions; otherwise, we would be no better off than sheep in the fields, exclusively relying on nature alone. Besides, you may discover personalities in this book that are just like yourself! REED S. ANDERSON
