The War and The Christian Mystic
2007-05-22 08:17:00
For the past ten years, Christian
Mystic
s.com has dealt with the practices and writings of Christian Mystics, traditional and contemporary. I've stayed out of politics on purpose at the main site, at least directly, but I'd like to offer a small voice with this posting on the Christian Mystics Blog:
Christianity possesses a characteristic unique to most religions. There have been some rather
Jesus: The Son of Man

Just a quick note -- the main site at Christian Mystics has just added a wonderful resource -- Gibran's Jesus
: The Son of Man. This book has to be one of the most fascinating studies of Jesus from the perspective of several contemporaries.
To take a look at it -- and you should -- head over to ChristianMystics.com and look in the left column for the newest entries.
Blessings,

Best Bible Software
2007-05-21 09:07:00
I just received an email from a visitor to Christian Mystics who asked what, if any, Bible software I use.
First, a disclaimer: the many different understandings of Christianity are reflected by our visitors. It stands to reason that each of you have differing needs, so all I'd like to do today is tell you one approach that seems to work for me.
I'm ignoring the larger packages that sell for up

From an excellent site on Quaker homilies that I recommend you investigate.
"Are you far from home? Are there few that understand you? Does your heart get lonely and heartsick? Remember Jesus knows how to sympathize because He has been far from home. He has been among strangers.
"Oh, how many hearts are longing for somebody just to inquire how they are getting along, for somebody who can

New eBooks On Christian Mystics
2007-05-24 11:17:00
After quite a bit of hunting around, I've managed to gather a dozen or more books that I think might be of interest to the Christian
mystic. These are in pdf form, and are hosted on the ChristianMystics
.com site itself.
I hope you'll take a moment to go over to the site's main page and look at to the left where under "Latest" you'll find the link to the list of eBooks
that are available. Some of
More New Stuff -- Plus An Apology
2007-05-28 16:56:00
First the apology. ChristianMystics.com moved seamlessly to a new server with far better performance and options. Trouble is, Blogger.com didn't get the word until a few minutes ago. Wondered why visitors to the blog were so dismal today? Could it be that someone (ahem. cough) forgot to republish the blog? I -- er, I mean the person who is responsible -- apologizes.

The War Prayer

As a Christian, I think you might find this to be of special interest.
The War Prayer
If you know the work, you already know the power behind it on paper. It is an amazingly strong statement in the production, and I'll hold off information on the author until you've seen it.

About Your Theory of Reality .......
2007-05-29 16:34:00
While putting together a post on the main site called "A Look At Jesus" made up of writings from Honest to Jesus by Robert W. Funk, I was struck by one particular sentence.
Ever notice how that happens? You're reading along and suddenly, "Zap!" you get kidnapped by a sentence that most wouldn't even notice, but, for some reason, in you it seems like a secret door that suddenly drops you down

This Should Make You Think
2007-05-29 09:35:00
I wish I would have found this yesterday, being Memorial Day, but for some reason I ended up at the site today.
If you have a few minutes, uninterrupted, and can watch and listen I think you'll find it will stay with you for some time to come.

The Only Christian Mystic Joke
2007-06-06 22:45:00
Ok, only one I know. There may be more. Books of them, but I've never quite come across them!
Here goes. Read and enjoy.
There was once a Christian
mystic, an evangelical pastor and a fundamentalist evangelist die on the same day and awake to find themselves by the pearly gates.
After a little time had passed St. Peter came out and said to the mystic ‘Jesus will see you now’. On hearing this

A Simple Practice For The Spirit

“Christ has no body now on earth but yours;
No hands but yours,
No feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which is to look out
Christ's compassion to the world;
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about
doing good;
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men
now.”

I've been increasingly busy with helping with the blog over at Way Of A Pilgrim, so much so that I haven't had time to do much in the way of adding to this blog! I hope you'll go take a look and that you find it of interest and help to you in your journey.
Also, since so many people have written me about something, I wanted to mention what's going on. As most of you know, I've written several
