A collection of 150 litanies that invites congregations to stretch beyond their accustomed limits and familiar themes. Compiled and adapted for ecumenical public worship.
Evelyn Underhill was an English Anglo-Catholic writer and pacifist known for her numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, in particular Christian mysticism.
In the English-speaking world, 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.
This offers great insight into the personhood of Evelyn Underhill and her understanding of Christian mysticism. The Goodreads description of this book is totally wrong.
