Read by the author.

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reveals the path of the "ordinary mystic," and invites listeners into the refuge of experiencing deep, lasting, real communion with Jesus.

In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. We think we're finally holding the keys to a better life.

But if that's true, why are we wrestling with ever-increasing levels of anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The fact is, we live in a world of weary, skeptical pragmatism—and it's keeping us from experiencing the God we are dying without.

John Eldredge presents a powerful alternative to the soulless, disenchanted world we find ourselves living in today: the path of the ordinary mystic. Listeners who join Eldredge on this journey will

• regain childlike faith in the reality of God's constant, available presence to those who seek him;
• discover the biblical foundations for the mystical tradition in Christianity; and
• learn practices, habits, and prayers that will transform their ability to hear the voice of Jesus in their day-to-day lives.

Every human yearns to return to Eden, to a state of unbroken communion with the God who created us for adventure and intimacy with him. The mystic is awake to the truth that God is still with us--and we experience the refuge of his powerful, healing presence if we learn to open our hearts to him.

Learning to commune with the Spirit of Christ with in you.

I liked the help in understanding the working of the Spirit of God , and how to identify the dark spirits.
Well done John!

Incredibly Helpful!!

This book has taken me deeper into my relationship with Jesus. I’m so thankful for John and the Team at Wild at Heart.

Life changing

Thank you so much for writing this book. I am forever grateful. God bless you and your family!

We have everything we need!

"The mystic understands that all provision has been made. Our job is to take hold of it. And then, remarkable things will happen!"

The Blood of Christ, the River of Life, the Fire and Glory of God, the Breath of God! These gifts are ours to wield against the enemy! Thank you, Jesus, for speaking through John in this powerful work. God wins!

Spiritual growth is at its core

Every one of his books is like a drink of spring water when I’m in the desert and this one is no different. I love his narration. His voice is very calming and clear. This book brought me closer to God and anything that brings me closer to God is worth my time.

Ordinary Mystics

I am trying to not overstate or be hyperbolic, but this is a true blue paradigm shift. This past year or so has been an eye opening one, where I have become increasingly more aware of the Unseen Realm and our part on it.

Some of what I've read and have been taught was fascinating, but I didn't really know what to do with it. Information without transformation.

John Eldredge's book here tells you everything to do about it, from becoming an Ordinary Mystic to engaging on spiritual warfare in Christ's authority. Understand that I've been a Christian and a minister for years and much of the teachings in this book are considered fringe or for the Saints of the church. This is not correct. John teaches in a pastoral and authoritative manner. He's like the spiritual father many of us Disciples of the Internet have never experienced. I don't usually double dip when it comes to books, but this is one case where it's highly recommended. The audiobook has additional riffs and teachings on the written content. The text could easily be highlighted through and through.

Please read this book, please listen to it, and please take your time!

This will be a book referred back for years to come, I'm sure.

Like sitting at the foot of our Lord! So much in this book!

I will read this book over and over. I’ve listened to chapters 11 and 12 at least 4 times. Gleaning the spiritual knowledge and training in these chapters. I was able to close the chapter on some areas of my life. Finally! After walking thru these chapters. I have experienced-God-really. Highly recommend this book.

Tools for Breakthrough

This book covers many different aspects of one theme: freedom and union with Jesus, Abba, and Holy Spirit. If you or a loved one have experienced trauma, either small or large, the pages of this book will help bring healing to you. Plus, give you tools to help others. John has such a soothing way about him that it is so easy to listen. He is a very good story teller as well. I highly recommend this book, and I say, Well done, John.

How much I needed and wanted this book without even knowing it!

Thank you, Mr. Etheridge for doing the narration. This is a Spirit driven lifeline for Christians in this day who are desperately seeking communion with Jesus.

Heart changing!

Amazing, challenging, worth it. Every minute of it also love the added bonus audio stuff.
Thanks John and team

I believe! Lord help my unbelief!
