Holistic Christianity: The Vision of Catholic Mysticism

"This book points to and describes where we are surely heading: full incarnationalism. The salvation that God is offering the universe is much more whole, much more now, much better than we dared to imagine. Joe Conti shares with us a Christ who is bigger than our small humanity, and a humanity that is still capable of such a Christ." —Fr. Richard Rohr, author of Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer

"Joseph Conti draws from a wide range of sources in developing a vision of Christian life that integrates into a single whole the principles of holistic medicine, psychological healing, and contemplative spirituality." —James Finley, author of Merton's Palace of Nowhere

"Dr. Conti initiated a personal dialogue with me from his very first page, and he faithfully sustained our relationship as he led me along the tried and true paths of Catholic spirituality. It is clear that Conti has completed the exacting research at every juncture of his study, respecting the classical sources on Christian mysticism even as he proposes his own carefully measured insights." —George Saint Laurent, Ph.D., author of Spirituality and World Religions, Professor Emeritus, California State University at Fullerton

"A highly accessible, engagingly direct and deeply informed practice-oriented text."—Philip Novak, Chairman, Dept. of Philosophy and Religion, Dominican College of San Raf'l, author of The World's Wisdom

" novel breakthrough, assisted by vivid illustrations"—Dr. Robert Ellwood, Professor Emeritus of Religion, University of Southern California, author of Mysticism and Religion
