The Feminine Mystic brings together writings by thirteen women mystics in the Christian tradition (including Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, and Catherine of Siena) arranged by themes such as prayer, God, justice, vocation, and visions. A short biography of each mystic sheds light on the influences that shaped her life and work. An accessible, inspiring body of work, The Feminine Mystic provides readers with not only the illuminating joy of Christ and the bleak night of the soul, but with all the tumult and elation that fall in between. The Feminine Mystic is an ideal resource for those who practice the time-honored discipline of daily spiritual reading.
