From a bestselling Catholic author! A dictionary and reference guide to all aspects of the Catholic mystical life. Terms and explanations to everything mystic and supernatural: the interior life, the way of perfection, states of ecstasy, the dark night of the spirit, the dark night of the soul. This brief work on the mystical life has a lot of detailed information that will serve as a reference guide for those seeking to understand mystics, spiritual growth, and the interior life. A recent endorsement: "I have to say that of the many books I have read (having multiple degrees in theology -including my Doctorate from Columbia University) your "They Bore the Wounds of Christ: The Mystery of the Sacred Stigmata..." is one of my all time favorites. In fact not only do I continue to refer to it, but there are certain passages that you explain that could only be attributable to infused divine inspiration. Please continue to write ... Peace, Deacon Mike Vicinanza."
