It explores the felt dimension of medieval Sufism and why feeling—especially, \u003cem\u003elike a lover\u003c\/em\u003e—was so important for coming to truly know God and his divine secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47306903224556,"sku":"9780520426344","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/868ef780c74fcae766a16c856689472e.jpg?v=1771100385"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/matthew-thomas-miller.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
