Description

The Way to Christ was the first published book of German mystic JACOB BOEHME (1575-1624), who received a revelatory vision in 1600 while watching a beam of sunlight reflect in a metal dish. A spiritual guide for Christians, this book contains Boehme's method for attaining enlightenment and unity with God. He offers prayers for readers to repeat and guides them through the repentance that is necessary in finding Christ. Lost souls and Christians out of touch with their faith will find Boehme's conviction and passion inspiring.
