{"product_id":"9780867167467","title":"Mystics: 10 Who Show Us the Ways of God","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWe read the mystics for the same reason we read the Bible, because we find there an articulation of intimacy with God. Abraham and Moses have experiences of God; the writers of Genesis and Exodus relate the experiences. The prophets experience God; their prophecies find words to express that experience. We read the prophets to learn what God told them. But we also read, hoping, through them, to have a vicarious experience of God.—From the Introduction \u003cp\u003eChristianity is a mysterious faith. Some of these mysteries can be described with Scripture or doctrine, but others can only be experienced. Those graced with these experiences, these intimate glimpses of God, are called mystics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFather Bodo's sensitive guidance leads us into the heart of what these mystics have expressed about God and how their insight can deepen our own experience of the divine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith guides ranging from Mary, the mother of Jesus, to Francis of Assisi, to Gerard Manley Hopkins, centuries of mystical insights invite us to experience for ourselves the boundless mystery of God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes:\u003cbr\u003e Mary\u003cbr\u003e St. Francis of Assisi\u003cbr\u003e Jacopone Da Todi\u003cbr\u003e Julian of Norwich\u003cbr\u003e St. Catherine of Siena\u003cbr\u003e St. John of the Cross\u003cbr\u003e St. Terese of Lisieux\u003cbr\u003e Gerard Manley Hopkins\u003cbr\u003e Simone Weil\u003cbr\u003e Robert Lax\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Franciscan Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022296563952,"sku":"9780867167467","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780867167467_p0.jpg?v=1763839057","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780867167467","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
