'This collection of 22 succinct articles discusses the ways to experience God directly. Solidly rooted in a spiritual worldview, Father Kelsey puts into perspective such manifestations of God as dreams, healing, tongue speaking, and "slaying in the spirit." A practicing psychologist, the author provides a mature psychological viewpoint on mystical experience and forms a bridge between the sometimes alien worlds of psychology and spirituality.'
