Is God flirtatious?How about playful? Or funny? What about mischievous, shameless, cheeky - even erotic?Welcome to the enchanted worldview of Richard H. Barry. In these pages, a modern mystic masterfully paints a portrait of the God of his experience - a God characterized much more by humor, fun, and sensuality than by sterile, lifeless dogma. Though expressed in fresh, contemporary imagery, Barry’s poetry resonates profoundly with the outlooks and articulations of the great mystics from across centuries and traditions. A provocative contribution, Her Name is Mystery reflects a spirituality in which reverence and irreverence playfully interact and intertwine.For those who have strained under the weight of heavy-handed, conformity-demanding theologies, Her Name is Mystery awaits, longing to provide a liberating breath of fresh air. Barry’s tender verses remind your soul that the Divine is far too magical, loving, and downright fun to fit neatly into anyone’s systems or containers. Hear the invitations of wonder and awe. Relax, have a few laughs, and ponder anew that magnificent Mystery we dare call God!--Richard H. Barry is an American mystic and poet who has spent the majority of his adult life in religiously diverse contexts in Asia. His deepest sense of calling revolves around living his life as a celebration of Mystery and being someone who reveals the radical playfulness and shamelessness of God.

    Edward V Bonner
