Rob English tries to recapture the term "mystical Christian" as a positive step or move towards a deeper spirituality in his "On Becoming a Mystical Christian (2012). When it comes to seeking God, are we seeking God on His terms or ours? Do we want God to be like us or are we allowing God to shape us into more like Him? Do we really want God or the blessings God gives? These are some of the questions and issues English raises in his book.
For many people in the church today, churches may be respectable and teach good things but too many of them are simply comatose. English proposes that one of the problems that many people in the church have is they really don't want "intimacy with God." They do not want Jesus to get too close. Would you agree or disagree?
