This work aims to recover the mystical heart of Christianity, confirming that there is a direct tradition of spiritual practices that the main stream Church has managed to ignore and suppress. The author's quest for higher knowledge takes him on a journey to Maine, New York, London, Cyprus and Greece. His revelation of a vital living mystical practice based in ancient Christian thought, is a major step in linking the most esoteric traditions of the East to the largely hidden esoteric traditions of the West. The book has a wide cultural significance, revealing a Western Christian spirituality that includes space for mystical practice that is too often assumed to be the exclusive domain of eastern religions.

Kyriacos C. Markides has written several books about Christian mysticism, including The Magus of Strovolos, Riding with the Lion, Homage to the Sun, and Fire in the Heart. A professor of sociology at the University of Maine, he lives in Stillwater, Maine, with his wife, Emily.
