Originally part of a series of broadcasts made by the author prior to World War II, this small book was meant "to present some of the great truths concerning man's spiritual life in simple language." As one critic has noted, "Underhill has admirably and eloquently achieved her objective."
Evelyn Underhill was a prolific British writer on mysticism and spiritual growth. Her other books include The School of Charity, and Mystics of the Church, both available from Morehouse Publishing.
