*Thrust in the Sickle* by Walter C. Lanyon is a mystical Christian work emphasizing instant spiritual awakening. Using the biblical metaphor of harvesting (Revelation 14:15), Lanyon teaches that divine realization is immediate, not a gradual process. He highlights the power of thought, silence, and direct communion with God, rejecting human limitations as illusions. His poetic and metaphor-rich style makes the book deeply contemplative but potentially challenging for those seeking structured theology. Ideal for readers interested in New Thought and Christian mysticism, it offers a transformative perspective on spiritual enlightenment.
