***New York Times* bestselling author John Eldredge reveals the path of the "ordinary mystic," and invites readers into the refuge of experiencing deep, lasting, *real* communion with Jesus.**
In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolise our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. We think we're finally holding the keys to a better life.
But if that's true, why are we wrestling with ever-increasing levels of anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The fact is, we live in a world of weary, sceptical pragmatism – and it's keeping us from experiencing the God we are dying without.
John Eldredge presents a powerful alternative to the soulless, disenchanted world we find ourselves living in today: the path of the ordinary mystic. Readers who join Eldredge on this journey will:
* regain childlike faith in the reality of God's constant, available presence to those who seek him; * discover the biblical foundations for the mystical tradition in Christianity; and * learn practices, habits, and prayers that will transform their ability to hear the voice of Jesus in their day-to-day lives.
Every human yearns to return to Eden, to a state of unbroken communion with the God who created us for adventure and intimacy with him. The mystic is awake to the truth that God is still with us – and we experience the refuge of his powerful, healing presence if we learn to open our hearts to him.
