Frisch shares, “Christian Mystical Theology, A Way of Life” is Bible based. It includes single and married laypeople and the religious who were mystics known throughout centuries up to contemporary times. Mystics are messengers into the Christian and human communities from their divine encounter with Jesus.

“In chapter 1, 'Committed Eros,' Patricia writes about her dual marriages—her human marriage to Richard F. Frisch, fifty-three years, and her mystical marriage with Jesus, thirty-five years. 'Committed Eros' shows her longing for faithful community development. Part 1 chapters also explain mystical theology, the language of the mystics, references for the enrichment, and in-depth exploration of mystics from the Bible up to contemporary mystics and the development of the Trinity.

“Part 2 flows from part 1 with examples from the Gospels and the Christian history of committed mystical friendships through the presence of Jesus. A unique understanding of Jesus and his mother’s relationship to the incarnation becomes the basis for the following chapters regarding committed mystical, agape friendships. Church leadership, intellectual pursuits, and everyday life are finding balance and harmony. Harmony is rising through the mystics, contemplatives, and everyday mystics who enjoy peace through prayerful participation in contemporary mystical theology. The book ends with the hope that everyone finds ways to share their prayer journey with the communities.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Patricia F. Frisch, A Married Christian Mystic’s new book will challenge and inspire readers who look to understand the history and modern implications of mysticism.
