Abraham Lincoln : Practical Mystic

Abraham Lincoln: Practical Mystic by Francis Grierson presents a unique interpretation of Lincoln’s character, emphasizing the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of his personality. Published in 1918, the book explores how Lincoln's deep intuition, moral insight, and inner strength shaped his leadership during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. Grierson argues that Lincoln was not just a politician or statesman but a “mystic” with a rare ability to connect practical governance with a profound moral vision.

The book delves into Lincoln’s reflections on human nature, justice, and destiny, suggesting that his decisions were often guided by a sense of higher purpose. Grierson examines moments in Lincoln’s life—such as the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation and his handling of the Civil War—as examples of this fusion of pragmatism and spiritual insight. Lincoln’s humility, empathy, and patience emerge as key traits that enabled him to navigate complex challenges with wisdom.

Grierson’s narrative portrays Lincoln as a deeply contemplative leader, whose calm demeanor masked inner struggles and a profound awareness of the moral weight of his actions. This thoughtful and philosophical study offers readers a deeper appreciation of the inner life that complemented Lincoln’s public achievements, framing him as a rare blend of the practical and the transcendent. Narrated by Emmy Nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano and The Scythe.
