Born in 1575, Jacob Boehme was a famous German mystic and scholar, whose ideas remain as original today as back then. Concerned with the ideas of redemption from evil and sin, his works and his cosmogony are a one of a kind. Sometimes referred to as "new Christian anthropology" this book is a must read for all the people interested in developing a new, original view on the world of man and the world of God. 1..

The Way to Christ was the first published book of German mystic JACOB BOEHME (1575-1624), who received a revelatory vision in 1600 while watching a beam of sunlight reflect in a metal dish. A spiritual guide for Christians, this book contains Boehme's method for attaining enlightenment and unity with God. He offers prayers for readers to repeat and guides them through the repentance that is necessary in finding Christ. Lost souls and Christians out of touch with their faith will find Boehme's conviction and passion inspiring.
