On The Shoulders of Our Christian Mystics

"On the Shoulders of Our Christian Mystics" by Shawn McCraney and Delaney McCraney Norris is a chronological compilation of 429 short biographies of Christian mystics, beginning with John the Baptist and continuing through the twentieth century. Born of more than 1,200 hours of research, the book distinguishes authentic Christian mysticism, a path to knowing God intimately, from occult pursuits aimed at gaining power for oneself, and marks each figure by their suffering, their insights, their stance on Yeshua as God with us, or their appeal to the occult. It observes that nearly all genuine mystics stepped away from religious institutions and their claims to authority, and that departing from the literal incarnation of Christ led to less fruit of the Spirit and more ego. Presented as a living, working edition with seven appendices, including mystics of other faiths, Joseph Smith, Jun., the Akashic Record, and the danger of the Christ Conscience View, the book is aimed at those rare souls who choose to walk by faith without institutional authority, clerical demands, or playing church.

“The great cosmic attributes of Christ, those which accord him a universal and final primacy over Creation, these attributes only assume their full dimension in the setting of an evolution that is both spiritual and convergent.” - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
