Practical Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill. Evelyn Underhill was an English writer and pacifist known for her many works on religion and spiritual practice, in particular Christian mysticism. She was one of the most widely read writers on such matters in the first half of the twentieth century. No other book of its type — until the appearance in 1946 of Aldous Huxley’s The Perennial Philosophy — met with success to match that of her best-known work, Mysticism, published in 1911.Practical Mysticism

Evelyn is a skillful writer who states the case for mysticism in a convincing manner. The book, though written 100 years ago reads well for current readers and the complex sentences though long are yet easy to understand.
Her deeper understanding of the mystic path seems to be limited by a commitment to a “practical” approach; introduction to a general audience being the defining factor, and she has done this marvelously. Even those more practiced in the mystic arts will find this book to be fascinating in helping them explain mysticism to the “common man.”
