Originally part of a series of broadcasts made by the author prior to the Second World War, this small book was meant “to present some of the great truths concerning man’s spiritual life in simple language”.  As one critic noted, “Underhill has admirably and eloquently acheived her objective”.   Evelyn Underhill was a prolific British writer on mysticism and spiritual growth, and her books are as relevant today as when written; containing both divine insight and practical reality.
