If you've come to this book with a sincere desire to attain union with God in prayer - and you read Early Christian Spirituality with con- sideration, care, and with a working highlighter - Torkington's words might be the catalyst to take you to heaven. - Kevin Wells
A group of men who had lost hope over two thousand years ago were set afire with love, and hope was reborn within them. Three thousand
onlookers were set afire by the same love that brought hope for them, too; a new Church was born. This book details more clearly than ever
the God-given spirituality that Jesus Christ first lived, loved, and practised for himself before introducing it into the early Church. It details the new Mystical Spirituality that was its heart and soul and shows how it was understood and practised more widely and more deeply in those first Christian centuries than in any other century since. This profound practice is particularly true at the beginning of the twenty-first century when the Mystical Theology that was the leitmotiv of early Christianity seems not just to have been forgotten but positively rejected. This book insists that we must cast aside the wrongs and the
wrongdoing that have since disfigured it and return to our long-lost spiritual heritage without delay. For without it, Christian reform, renewal, or renaissance (call it what you will) will be impossible, and the secular 'spiritualities' of our me-me world will continue to dominate.
