Lent with Evelyn Underhill is the best way to appreciate Underhill's perceptive and mystical theology. The one-and-a-half to two-page segments per day
are just the right size digestible amounts for the ordinary reader who wants something more than giving up popsicles for Lent. This attractive little book also makes a great gift for thoughtful people who dare to dip below the surface in their spiritual life. Signed, Richard A. Bamforth

This review is from: Lent With Evelyn Underhill: Selections from Her Writings (Paperback)

This book captures some wonderful thoughts shared by Evelyn Underhill, one the the 20th Century's greatest Anglican mystics. Many of her ideas are brilliant, and deserve a lot of pondering. The selections chosen for this book are, for the most part, excellent.
But to present this as a devotional will draw many people unprepared for the depth of her thought, and the heavy reading that her writing style demands. I enjoy reading this, but many selections take several readings to understand the flow of her thought. My wife, on the other hand, is getting far less out of this, simply because she reads differently (probably the way most readers today do) quickly and skimming along.
