Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?

—. The Christian Book of Mystical Verse (Christian Publications, 1991). Mostly songs and poems about spiritual subjects; there could be some prophetic poetry in here as well–that is, dream interpretations set to poetry, like the writings of the Old Testament prophets probably were compiled.

Robert Tuttle, Mysticism in the Wesleyan Tradition (Zondervan, 1989). Shows that Wesley was very careful about what he borrowed from the writings of Christian mystics–what he called separating the gold from the dross–his favorites are found in “A Christian Library,” such as Macarius of Egypt, Looking Unto Jesus by Isaac Ambrose, The Spiritual Guide by Michael Molinos, The Spiritual Letters of John of Avila, “Thoughts Concerning the Present Revival,” “The Distinguishing Marks,” and the “Religious Affections” by Jonathan Edwards, The Life of Monsieur De Renty, The Life of Gregory Lopez, Letters by François Fénelon, The Life of Madame Guyon, The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis, and The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence. While Guyon, Molinos, and Fénelon might have said some good things, I would warn their readers to beware of any anti-emotional stoicism or any hyper-prophetic quietism that leads a charismatic to believe that the Holy Spirit supposedly leads Christians, to make the smallest and most insignificant decisions in life, like always where to go and what to buy.
