"Paradise: Chiara Lubich's Mystical Journey" is the first book to be published with Chiara's only two talks about Paradise '49, along with essays about that mystical journey and it implications for today's world.
This book presents both Chiara's mystic journey in Paradise and her mystical journey in creation seeing humanity, nature and the Church in the light of Paradise. The latter journey gave Chiara mystical insights about the Church, humanity, and nature as well as God's will for all three in the future. The mystical genius of Chiara created a lay spirituality that seeks to realize Jesus's prayers: "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Mt. 6:10), and "May they all be one" (Jn. 17:21).
