About this listen

Read by the author.

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reveals the path of the "ordinary mystic," and invites listeners into the refuge of experiencing deep, lasting, real communion with Jesus.

In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. We think we're finally holding the keys to a better life.

But if that's true, why are we wrestling 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 the God we are dying without.

John Eldredge presents a powerful alternative to the soulless, disenchanted world we find ourselves living in today: the path of the ordinary mystic. Listeners who join Eldredge on this journey will

  • regain childlike faith in the reality of God's constant, available presence to those who seek him;
  • discover the biblical foundations for the mystical tradition in Christianity; and
  • learn practices, habits, and prayers that will transform their ability to hear the voice of Jesus in their day-to-day lives.

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.

Spiritual growth is at its core

Every one of his books is like a drink of spring water when I’m in the desert and this one is no different. I love his narration. His voice is very calming and clear. This book brought me closer to God and anything that brings me closer to God is worth my time.

Incredibly Helpful!!

This book has taken me deeper into my relationship with Jesus. I’m so thankful for John and the Team at Wild at Heart.

We have everything we need!

"The mystic understands that all provision has been made. Our job is to take hold of it. And then, remarkable things will happen!"

The Blood of Christ, the River of Life, the Fire and Glory of God, the Breath of God! These gifts are ours to wield against the enemy! Thank you, Jesus, for speaking through John in this powerful work. God wins!

Could be a spiritual classic someday

Another impactful book from John Eldredge! I highly recommend the audio version as it feels very conversational just like Resilient. There are many similar ideas repeated in this new book from Resilient and the Pause app. But, the later chapters have content I've not heard before on the integration or healing prayers and there is a lot on spiritual warfare. This book is full of prayer exercises you can do to heal your union with God! Resilient mentions the pandemic often as it was written for that time, but this book doesn't and I think it will be timeless. Experience Jesus Really is all about how to become a mature mystic and calls us to a much higher view of the Christian life. If you've done the short prayers from the Pause app, the morning and evening prayers in this book are next level. I'm so grateful to John for writing this and giving his spiritual counsel.

Brave

John is really brave in this book to share his glory and depth with us. He cares more about winning our hearts to God than winning our approval. This will probably be his most impactful book since Wild at Heart.

Refreshes my soul

I got the audible and feel like I was having a conversation with John Eldridge as he explained how to sense Jesus‘s presence. And how to receive all that Jesus has for me.
