The Mystic's Way for Regular People James Alexander What others are saying: "You're climbing up a cloud-shrouded mountain seeking the spiritual master at the top who will teach you how to be a mystic. When you arrive, the wise master you encounter is a folksy character who imparts wisdom without abstract academic language. That wise master is the author of this book, James Alexander."
John Brockmann, Rector, Grace Episcopal Church, Norwood, Massachusetts, and coeditor, Franciscan Times "This book will rekindle your spiritual imagination. Alexander's inspired personal style brings together the bright lamps of Christian mystics through the ages in a way that is accessible and easy to read… A most welcome and welcoming invitation into the too-easily forgotten depth of our faith. —Jeff Golliher, Assisting Minister Provincial, Sacred Ecology, Society of Saint Francis, Third Order, Province of the Americas "John of the Cross said he wrote his works 'for beginners' who feel drawn to a deeper spiritual path. James Alexander has accomplished the same thing in this eminently accessible little book. Painting the broad themes of our Christian mystical lineage in clear strokes…For those of us who may have been traveling on the mystic's way for some time, Alexander provides valuable reminders as we struggle to maintain our 'beginner's mind.'" —Charles McCarron, Assistant Minister Provincial, Society of St. Francis, Third Order, Province of the Americas.
