ABOUT.

Beni Johnson in her book entitled 'The Happy Intercessor,' describes Christian mystics as

'people who have laid down their entire lives to seek after one thing, the very heart of God. One

of the things that make “mystics” different from other people is that they have only one desire, to

know God in His fullness.'

 

We often associate mystics with well known personalities of the past such as Augustine, John of the Cross, Catherine of Genoa, Joan of Arc, St. Francis of Assisi, most from the Catholic faith. Consequently there is a common belief that mystics are rare and even relegated to the past. Yet in every period of the Christian church the numbers of hidden mystics far exceed those recorded. They are drawn from all walks of life and vocations. Some are famous scientist like Isaac Newton, the father of modern science. Others remain unknown like Lucie-Christine, French woman, housewife and mother of five children whose mystical journals were discovered after her death. Here's an excerpt from her diary of her encounter with God - 'my soul found itself transported into the Infinity of God; not merely as into some new region ,but as if, having lost it's own life, it was living in the Infinite itself.' These unknown Christian mystics are life giving members of the Church.

 

This book is a compilation of encounters and revelations from  Historical, Biblical and Modern Day Mystics.   For the Modern Mystics we  found  and interviewed individuals  that have  interacted  with God like the  saints of old. These encounters include everything from dreams, transportations, visions of Jesus, angels  and  heavenly visitations.  This book will most certainly  stretch  your expectation  for  how  God  has and  desires to interact with His followers.  Our  vision  is  that  the  encounters  and  lifestyles  of the mystics interviewed would create a  hunger  in  you for union with God.  We  hope  that as  you  read  the  book the encounters would leap from the  pages and ignite your hearts for the sake of Christ and His purpose  - reviving our heart to love.  And  as we encounter Him  how can we not become more like Him, this is the intent of mysticism!
