Join the St. Andrew’s Spiritual Reading Group for May and June as we read and discuss The Big Book of Christian Mysticism - The Essential Guide to Contemplative Spirituality, by Carl McColman (Mr. McColman Is a member of the lay associates community and an employee in the business division of the Trappist Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Georgia. In the Preface he writes, “ ..Since Christianity is about loving God and loving our neighbors, Christian mysticism encourages an optimistic, positive outlook for other people, despite our human failings. Think of mysticism as a tool that can help you find joy in relating to others -  Even in organized religious settings like your neighborhood church.”  

Richard Rohr, OFM,  author of The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See,  comments the following regarding this book:  “ Mysticism is not mystifying at all, but simple, always available, and utterly clarifying. Carl McColman’s much-needed book will allow you to experience this for yourself!  Christians and all Seekers will find both meat and dessert in such a full meal.”
