Summary: Dinner with the mystics
Comment: I liken this book to having dinner with the mystics. Ursula King gives a concise, but short history - sort of an appetizer - before she writes about the mystics. King weaves a story of each, carefully following who they learned from and what their life and times were like. It is a terrific and easy read. I actually read it in one day. Recently, I taught this book at my chapel. Everyone loved it as well.I highly recommend it for anyone interested in another's spiritual journey.

Summary: A great Introduction
Comment: This was the first book that I read on the topic of Mysticism.
Ursula King did a great job:
a) making the chapters and sections an easy read (explaining terms, providing further research information, providing a comprehensive look at each mystic, and talking about various movements and schools of thought within Christianity and Christian mysticism).
b) compiling the lives of 60 men and women of God from ancient Antiquity 'till modern times.
c) not making this book be partisan to any particular Christian faith (she analyses the lives and influence of Catholic as well as Protestant and Eastern Orthodox mystics).
At its core, Christian mysticism is defined as Contemplation: contemplations on Christ's life & sacrifice, and of God's love towards humanity. As such this book has had a refreshing spiritual benefit in my life.
