The Spiral Way: Being Meditations Upon the Fifteen Mysteries of the Soul's Ascent

Evelyn Underhill was a prolific writer, with dozens of books and hundreds of articles to her credit. Underhill wrote about mysticism in the beginning of her career, but later focused more on the spiritual life as lived by ordinary people. Written by Underhill under the pseudonym John Cordelier, ?The Spiral Way? is a Christian look at the journey of the spirit. With chapters structured to parallel the Roman Catholic tradition of the Mysteries of the Rosary, Underhill relates the spiritual journey to the life of Jesus Christ. This book, subtitled "Mediations Upon the Fifteen Mysteries of the Soul's Ascent", examines those mysteries in three phases—the Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, the Triumphant Mysteries—fulfills the promise of the soul's glorious ascension of ultimate redemption.
