Description of  The Cloud of Unknowing With the Book of Privy Counsel [Audiobook]

B00MYGM8LC M4B@64 kbps Translator: Carmen Acevedo Butcher | Narrator: James Patrick Cronin This anonymous fourteenth-century text is the glory of English mysticism, and one of the most practical and useful guides to finding union with God ever written. Carmen Acevedo Butcher's new translation is the first to bring the text into a modern English idiom-while remaining strictly faithful to the meaning of the original Middle English. Also included in the volume is the companion work attributed to the same anonymous author, The Book of Privy Counsel, which contains further advice for approaching God in a way that emphasizes real experience rather than human knowledge.
