Knowing God: Meat From the Mystics Daily Readings

Originally published in 1901, this book represented a unique vision by Mary Wilder Tileson. Mrs. Tileston began with a desire to collect inspirational snippets from the best of the spiritual writers down through the Christian tradition. Keying these to scriptures, and organizing a brief collection for every day of the year, she endeavored to create a collection of meditations to "encourage the pilgrim on his daily path". At once simple and profound, this original volume remains unique in its spiritual breadth and scope. Today this book contains the same power and simplicity that it did over a hundred years ago. This book offers readers an introduction to the great Christian spiritual writers of the ages. From the Theologica Germanica of the fourteenth century to A. W. Tozer in the nineteenth, modern readers have, within these pages, an unparallelled treat of wisdom and inspiration from ages past.
