In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolize 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, skeptical 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.
