I actually had to change the audio setting to “slow” to follow some parts, but the print version is very easy to read and I found it entertaining because of her approach.Hardcover. She is not pitching any particular belief system rather she is challenging the reader to re-think what you consider “obvious.” Because that is her objective, audio version might not work alone. But I think Underhill is ingenious at what she attempts to do. I’ve read a lot of books written by believers (of one thing or another) for those who don’t believe, and the books never work we all see things the way we see them. She attempts to open up a spiritual reality to the pragmatic and practical person who truly doesn’t “see the point” of all that stuff, who feels the obvious is, simply, obvious.
Underhill takes on a huge challenge in this book. Those who are interested in that special attitude towards the universe which is now loosely called mystical, find themselves beset by a multitude of. The narration is choppy and lacks pauses but I was still grateful to find it in audio at all.
