Boehem was an enlightened mystic. This is a shorter collection of Boehme's writing's. It was his desire to bring others into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. The purification of the soul being the predominant underlying theme. A truly inspirational book.

Boehme lends new light to the study of sin and redemption and how man can find his way back to Christ indwelling. A powerful and inspirational read.

Boehme's `Way to Christ' is a contemplative work that can be read as a meditation. He originated the Myth of the Ungrund, but Boehme placed the entire myth under God's control. His work on the Ungrund led to Berdyaev's existential view of God and was foundational for the meonic nothingness found in Berdyaev. `The Way to Christ' might be hard for modern readers to connect with, but if readers take the time to soak in the word, it can add to a person's spiritual journey. The language will not always be obvious or understandable, but Boehm wrote in a context that was very different from 21st century Westerners.
