Although the writings of the Sufi mystics (Rumi and Hafez) and the Indian mystics (Mirabai and Kabir) have reached a wide audience in recent years, the poetry of the Christian mystics has yet to be discovered by a general audience.\u003ci\u003e For Lovers of God Everywhere, \u003c\/i\u003e a collection of nearly 100 poems from both historic and contemporary writers, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e heralds the reemergence of the great spiritual voices of the Christian tradition--a tradition with its own love songs to God, cries of longing, and bliss of union. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eIn this collection, Roger introduces us to some of the foremost poets of both the Eastern and Western Christian traditions. He takes us from the wisdom of the Desert Fathers to the passion of St. Augustine, through the medieval ecstasies of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Catherine of Siena, to the subtleties of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila; and on to contemporary voices such as Rainer Maria Rilke, T.S. Eliot, and Mary Oliver. Roger's insightful commentary on each poem inspires us to take its words more deeply into our souls and shows how the mystical tradition transcends sectarian divides and speaks to the heart of humanity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoger Housden \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of seventeen books including the \u003ci\u003eTen Poem\u003c\/i\u003es series, as well as \u003ci\u003eSeven Sins for a Life Worth Living, Dancing with Joy, Risking Everything, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Rembrandt Reveals Your Beautiful, Imperfect Self\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChasing Rumi, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSacred Journeys in a Modern World.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eHousden is a respected lecturer who presents in both the private and corporate arenas on the transformational power of poetry and living a life of meaning.
