Description: This book takes the reader on a unique inner journey which explores the lives of the monks and the mystics through the particular lens of archetypal energy. Christine Valters Painter shows how the lives and spirituality of twelve monks and mystics from the Christian tradition offer distinct patterns of thought. Each figure invites the reader to discover the energy and potential of a particular archetype. From the prophet Miriam of the Hebrew scriptures to the 20th Century monk, Thomas Merton, Painter offers a range of challenging and enlivening models to explore. These insightful reflections by Painter on the key selections of each mystic’s writings, could help the reader gain greater self-knowledge and experience a deeper encounter with God.

In addition to the text, the individual chapters include a full colour painting of each monk or mystic done by Marcy Hall. These are accompanied with a commentary on the art work by Painter. Furthermore she has included guided meditations, beautiful prayers and poems which help the reader explore further the image associated with each mystic.
