Summary
Eldredge begins this book stating that we are all becoming disciples of the Internet where we are addicted and distracted, thinking we hold the keys to a better life. However, why do we wrestle with ever-increasing levels of anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The fact is, we live in a world of weary, skeptical pragmatism–and it’s keeping us from experiencing God in a genuine way.
Eldredge goes on to present a powerful alternative to the soulless, disenchanted world we find ourselves in, the path of what he calls the ordinary mystic. Every human yearns to return to Eden, to a state of unbroken communion with the God who created us for adventure and intimacy with him. The mystic is awake to the truth that God is still with us–and we experience the refuge of his powerful, healing presence if we learn to open our hearts to him.
