Dark Night of the Soul
by St. John of the Cross
It is perhaps not an exaggeration to say that the verse and prose works combined of St. John of the Cross form at once the most grandiose and the most melodious spiritual canticle to which any one man has ever given utterance.

The most sublime of all the Spanish mystics, he soars aloft on the wings of Divine love to heights known to hardly any of them. . . . True to the character of his thought, his style is always forceful and energetic, even to a fault.

Mysticism: A Study in Nature and
Development of Spiritual Consciousness.
by Evelyn Underhill
First published in 1911, Mysticism remains the classic in its field and was lauded by The Princeton Theological Review as 'brilliantly written [and] illuminated with numerous well-chosen extracts . . . used with exquisite skill.' Mysticism makes an in-depth and comprehensive exploration of its subject. Part One examines The Mystic Fact, explaining the relation of mysticism to vitalism, to psychology, to theology, to symbolism, and to magic. Part Two, The Mystic Way, explores the awakening, purification, and illumination of the self; discusses voices and visions; and delves into manifestations from ecstasy and rapture to the dark night of the soul.

Christian Mysticism
by William Ralph Inge.
Anglican prelate and author. He was dean of St. Paul's Cathedral from 1911 to 1934. Well known for his originality of thought and for his pessimism, the latter earned him the title “the gloomy dean.” His works include several on mysticism, a subject in which he was much interested. If you spend a bit of time with his Christian Mysticism (1897), you should see why it's considered a "lost classic."

Jesus: The Son of Man
by Gibran
A remarkable book looking at Jesus from the point of view of contemporaries, some favorable and inspired, some not-so-favorable and very telling of the person speaking. Spiritually insightul and dramatic in its poetic mystery, the format doesn't do the book justice, but it is well worth having and reading. Also available online at CM.com

Orthodoxy: The Romance of Faith
by G. K. Chesterton
If G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy: The Romance of Faith is, as he called it, a "slovenly autobiography," then we need more slobs in the world. This quirky, slender book describes how Chesterton came to view orthodox Catholic Christianity as the way to satisfy his personal emotional needs, in a way that would also allow him to live happily in society. Chesterton argues that people in western society need a life of "practical romance, the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure. We need so to view the world as to combine an idea of wonder and an idea of welcome."

Among the Mystics
William Fairweather
Usually only available in very expensive reprints -- when it can be found -- Fairweather attempts to trace the history of Mystics in the Christian tradition. Well worth a study.
