"River Jordan once again explores the spiritual aspect of the human journey through her tender lens. She nudges us out of our comfort zones and into realms of personal discovery. With a master's hand, she peels open every raw corner of her own experiences so that we close the book forever shaped by this soul-stirring story. Delivered in small but powerful doses, River's words offer good medicine to any heart that has known hunger or hurt, love or loss. This is a book for any heart that dares to remain open in this great, big, beautiful, cruel world." (Julie Cantrell, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of Perennials)

"River Jordan is the South's Anne Lamott: hilarious, authentic, irreverent, and breathtakingly insightful about all things spiritual. Through achingly honest reflection and regular shots of humor, Confessions of a Christian Mystic connects with those bewildered, broken places in all of us and reminds us of the beauty, mercy and grace that sustains us." (Joy Jordan-Lake, author A Tangled Mercy and other novels)

"River's ability and willingness to prove into the deepest part of herself is what has always characterized her work, and Confessions of A Christian Mystic is no exception. In fact, it is the epitome of her collective work, always a glimpse of her very human soul. She reminds me to live in the now and not to be distressed in the ordinary life that demands so much of my attention. I'm assured that prayer is often a state of being rather than hidden in the closet, and that both are equally accepted and needed. River shows her map, torn and dirty, with footprints in no particular order and yet they always lead back to the very heart of our existence. This richness, rawness, heart light, heartbreak, a glimpse beyond the veil speaks and speaks and speaks." (Karen Schwettman, FoxTale Book Shoppe, Woodstock, GA)
