#3: The Life of Evelyn Underhill: An Intimate Portrait of the Ground-Breaking Author of Mysticism
Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) was one of the most highly acclaimed spiritual thinkers of her day. Her fresh approach to mysticism provided one of the first invitations to modern seekers to realize that not only saints or great holy men could experience the love of God - but that all people contain within them a capacity for the Divine. This intimate biography, written by Underhill's closest friends, allows us to appreciate this revolutionary woman as both a charming, down-to-earth friend and groundbreaking spiritual seeker and guide. Margaret Cropper captures the spirit, journey, and wisdom of one of the most influential women of the twentieth century.
