THE MYSTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

 “Pure gold. To my mind it is one of those little books which will go down to posterity as a spiritual classic of rare worth.” —Father Northcote.

"We know of no book in which the question so often asked in these days, ‘What is Mysticism?’ is so simply, clearly and ably answered as in this. Without the ambiguity, circumlocution and fine writing of the many non-Catholic works on the subject, this treatise goes at once to the root of the matter, and is eminently practical and lucid."—The Sacred Heart Messenger.

"Highly spiritual and also practical."—Irish Catholic.

“From the first chapter the mind is gripped and is led onward with increasing interest till the climax in that never-to-be-forgotten last chapter on ‘God is Charity’” — Poor Souls’ Friend.

THE MYSTICAL LIFE

”This little book upon a great subject is full of matter, radiant with light, nobly encouraging... From his lofty definition of the mystical life as a life of intimate, sustained, conscious union with God, Dom L. never departs or looks down.” —The Universe.

 “There is a very real desire abroad for closer knowledge of, and a more intimate life with, the unseen, in fact with God. Dom L points to the right door and gives us the key of it, by which we may pass into that life… It is not something esoteric… This book is not one just to read through and lay aside. It is a book to live by and work with.” —The Catholic Review.

 “We welcome the book as an effort to make men realize how abundant are the means whereby we can attain to the higher forms of spiritual life.” —Ushaw Magazine.

"A treatise of great value."—The Sacred Heart Messenger.

 “The author emphasizes still more strongly the right, nay, the duty, of all Christians to become mystics, admitting to this category all who live up to their Christian profession as sketched in the Gospel.” —The Month.

"The book is instinct with sublime thoughts and deep religious feeling, yet ever preserving its balance by sound common sense and trained reasoning.”—Irish Ecclesiastical Record.

MYSTICISM, TRUE and FALSE

"The book is thoroughly trustworthy as well as devout and edifying.”—Catholic Book Notes.

"In line with the teaching of the Popes… Calculated to enlarge the spiritual life of thousands… the conclusion is admirable.”—The Tablet.
