The current interest in mysticism has created a demand for books on mystical theology which explore the interface between modern depth psychology, spirituality and mystical tradition. If the author is suitably gifted, the book may be a manual for spiritual direction. This is such a book.
The writer has an outstanding ability to draw together different approaches to mysticsl theology, and the many aspects of a personal relationship to God. Her style is admirably clear, displaying command of the several necessary disciplines, and an understanding and sympathetic heart. While some extended metaphors become a little strained, this also happened to Teresa!
"Mystical Union" is a book whose challenges, insights and felicities I have greatly enjoyed. But I won't be lending my copy to friends just yet, as I know that I will want to return to it continually.
