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.

In The Big Book of Christian Mysticism, Carl McColman offers a thorough and engaging exploration of Christian mysticism which he defines as transformation through the Source of all Love.
