For nearly eight centuries, Bonaventure's The Journey of the Mind to God has guided seekers along the soul's ascent from the ordinary world to the very heart of God. Written in 1259 at the mountain hermitage of La Verna, this Franciscan classic maps the journey in seven stages — from the traces of God in creation, through the image of God in our own minds, to the divine Unity and Trinity, and finally to the mystical ecstasy that words can barely touch. This modern-English edition renders Bonaventure's luminous prose in clear, inviting language while remaining faithful to the meaning and spirit of the original. Whether you are new to the Christian mystical tradition or returning to a beloved text, this edition invites you to slow down, breathe, and walk the ancient path step by step.
