Publisher's Synopsis
Abraham Lincoln the Practical Mystic is a book written by Francis Grierson that explores the spiritual beliefs and practices of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. The book delves into Lincoln's deep understanding of the mystical and spiritual aspects of life, and how these beliefs influenced his approach to leadership and decision-making during his presidency. Grierson examines Lincoln's personal writings, speeches, and actions to reveal how his practical mysticism helped him navigate the challenges of the Civil War and the political landscape of his time. The author also explores Lincoln's fascination with the works of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher and theologian, and how these ideas influenced his own spiritual beliefs. The book includes a comprehensive analysis of Lincoln's famous Emancipation Proclamation, which Grierson argues was not only a political and social document but also a spiritual one, reflecting Lincoln's deep commitment to the principles of freedom, justice, and equality. Overall, Abraham Lincoln the Practical Mystic offers a unique perspective on one of the most iconic figures in American history, revealing the spiritual dimensions of his leadership and legacy.1918.
