It has, over the centuries, inspired many of the leading figures in different faiths to seek a sense of union with God or with the spiritual forces in the universe, and is increasingly part of the spiritual mainstream. <br/>Designed for students grappling with this complicated area, this book enables readers to understand the nature of mysticism, and to examine in detail the traditional methods used by mystics in seeking an intimate understanding of the spiritual world. Including a detailed survey of mystical trends within all the main world religions, and case studies of the lives of important mystics, Mysticism: A Guide for the Perplexed </i>also examines the nature of the mystical lifestyle, and the extent to which ordinary people can develop a sense of personal mysticism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'The richness of this book will enhance and deepen the openness to faith of any reader and provide a good introduction to what at first can be a perplexing subject.' --Sanford Lakoff<br><br>Offers a clear and organized understanding of a path to a deeper life for readers to consider.--Sanford Lakoff<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Paul Oliver is Principal Lecturer in the School of Education and Professional Development at the University of Huddersfield, UK.
