Can we draw close to God?

Although Dom. Savinen Louismet was a Benedictine monk he believed that contemplation was the birthright of all the baptised, not the rare or specialised gift of a spiritual elite.

In this series of popular books, designed for a general audience, Dom. Savinen dispels the notion that mysticism is an extraordinary or complex state, and instead presents it as "the grandest, noblest, sweetest and easiest thing in the world."

Covering topics such as the nature of mysticism, the practice of a loving and personal encounter with God, and the sources of help for a mystic in the world, Dom. Savinen’s words are encouraging, uplifting and essentially practical - he calls us make the attempt and "taste and see that God is sweet."
