The Holy Ordinary: A Way to God
Locates mysticism as the essential experiential centre of any Christian faith.
The Holy Ordinary takes its inspiration from mystics, modern prophets, and saints, with surprising insights from Christian scriptures. "Mysticism is a stream of the experiential, flowing from the hearts of those who knew and know God," explains Mark Longhurst, demonstrating the availability to every person of a mystical life.
Through topics such as "How to be contemplative and active" and "Live green like Hildegard of Bingen," Longhurst speaks to each person's need for transformation. This book is both profound and practical, a reflective guide for anyone--Nones, Dones, former Christians, and Christians open to learning from people of all backgrounds--seeking a vibrant, just, and inclusive spirituality.
"Herein lies support for your deepest self. Mark illuminates for you that in the ordinary aspects of life there is an extraordinary way to live. Drink from these reflections and prepare to be awakened and transformed." --Phileena Nikole, author of Pilgrimage of a Soul
"For years, I've been wishing for a book that could introduce ordinary people to the spiritual life in a healthy, honest, accessible way. Mark Longhurst has written what I've been waiting for." --Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt
