Everyday Mystics

The Christian of the future will be a mystic or nothing. Karl Rahner

Everyday Mystics: Spirituality for people who don't read spirituality is written from a belief that the mysterious life spark each of us brings into the world is a God spark, and it never quite goes out. Religion can smother this spark with words, rituals and prohibitions, leaving many adrift from the historic and familial foundations of their faith. Using language that would feel at home around a kitchen table, Judith has structured a book that brings new life and understanding to words commonly used about spirituality, brushing off the debris of long-ago religious practices. People of every denomination or none are enabled and encouraged to identify and appreciate the mystic in their everyday. Its words are a reminder that the dreamer in us is also the mystic in us, as it struggles to be recognised in twenty-first century everydayness.
