Carl McColman has both studied and practised the Christian mystical tradition, stressing its earthiness and 'ordinariness'. He holds that mysticism is not an esoteric realm, reserved for the very holy, but is what all Christian life is about. I strongly commend The Big Book of Christian Mysticism.

The Big Book of Christian Mysticism is truly a work of art as well as a spiritual guide. I highly recommend this book not only for general readers, but also for undergraduate or graduate students who need an introduction to Christian mysticism.
