While the term "mystic" may connote something other than traditional Christian beliefs, it actually refers to a common spiritual experience shared by those who have contact with God.

Tozer hand-picked the poems in this collection, which follow a logical pattern that corresponds to the nature of salvation and Jesus' death on the cross, man's contemplation of his own sin, redemption, communion with God, waiting for Christ's return, and celebrations of eternal fellowship with God in Heaven.

The Christian Book of Mystical Verse is a book for anyone who wishes to worship God the Father and finds the rich language of early Christians to be of great assistance in that pursuit.
