520			_a"Abraham Lincoln: The Practical Mystic" by Francis Grierson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and philosophical insights of Abraham Lincoln, portraying him not only as a pivotal political figure of the Civil War era but also as a profound mystical thinker whose actions were guided by a deep awareness of moral and spiritual forces. Grierson emphasizes Lincoln's unique blend of practical wisdom and profound mystical understanding that shaped his leadership. The opening of the text establishes a context for understanding Lincoln's mysticism in relation to his turbulent times, likening the struggles against slavery during Lincoln's presidency to contemporary challenges. Grierson highlights Lincoln's reflections on divine will, illustrating his belief that human efforts are intertwined with a higher purpose. This is exemplified by a meditation Lincoln shared with a clergyman, revealing his conviction that both sides of the Civil War sought divine favor, suggesting a complex moral landscape where truth and righteousness were subjects of deep contemplation for the President. The author's intent is to present Lincoln as a figure of profound moral clarity amid chaos, one whose mystical insights were crucial to his character and the decisions he made in leading a nation through its darkest hours.
