She quotes many Sufi mystics, speaks about Eastern influences, and gives insightful perspectives on contemplative prayer. I include many quotes from that book in my summary of comparative mysticism called "the greatest achievement in life" at www.suprarational.org She may not have claimed to be a mystics, but some of her friends said that she was. Few true mystics claimed that designation; some tried to avoid it because of most people's misunderstanding or misconceptions of what a mystic is.

I haven't read her yet, but I know she's an important voice. Here's another one for you: Madeleine L'Engle. She passed on last week, and I wrote a tribute post on my site about how she affected my life. Jon Sounds great. I haven’t read her yet, but I know she’s an important voice.
