Items related to Practical Mysticism
Evelyn Underhill was an English Catholic writer and pacifist best known for her works on Christian mysticism. Underhill's books on Mysticism were so popular that no other book on the topic matched its success until Aldous Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy was published in 1946. Practical Mysticism, published in 1914, is an excellent introduction to Underhill's theology as she presents how mysticism is present in our daily lives.

From the Inside Flap:
"God gives without stint all that the creature needs, but it must do its part. He gives the wheat: we must reap and grind and bake it." -Evelyn Underhill
In these two classics, British poet and mystic Evelyn Underhill shows herself to be one of the most authoritative modern voices on mysticism. Written on the eve of World War I," Practical Mysticism reviews the works of the greatest Western mystics, including Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, and Thomas a Kempis. Underhill's goal is to guide her readers on a journey toward mystical consciousness, to teach them to see the "eternal beauty beyond and beneath apparent ruthlessness."" Abba, first published in 1940, takes as its starting point the seven phrases of the Lord's Prayer, using them as a means to propel the self toward union with God. In these important works, Underhill brings an often esoteric subject onto a practical footing, showing that the profound gifts of mysticism are not only for the few but are within reach of us all.

Evelyn Underhill (1875 – 1941) was an English Anglo-Catholic writer and pacifist known for her numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, in particular Christian mysticism. No other book of its type met with the success to match that of her best-known work, Mysticism, published in 1911. Since 2000 the Church of England commemorates her liturgically on 15 June (the date of her death). She is also honoured with a feast day on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) on 15 June.
