This Anonymous Fourteenthcentury Text Is The Glory Of English Mysticism, And One Of The Most Practical And Useful Guides To Finding Union With God Ever Written.

Its Theology Is Presented In A Way That Is Remarkably Easy To Understand, As Well As Practical, Providing Advice On Prayer And Contemplation That Anyone Can Use.
