Description
The Book of Life by Teresa of Avila is one of the most beautiful testimonies to God's love and human desire for closeness to God. In it, Teresa describes her inner spiritual experience – her passionate search for God and the path of prayer she embarked upon. ***** The great reformer of the Carmelite order exemplifies a lived balance between action and contemplation, between serving others and developing her inner life. She was both a mystic and a skilled organizer, a 'fool for God' and a perceptive psychotherapist, a penitent and a woman who enjoyed life. She knew how to surrender to the divine mystery while fully experiencing her relationships with those around her. ***** Even though five centuries have passed since the writing of the Book of Life, it remains inspirational with its sense of reality and intimate relationship with Christ. The Carmelite Publishing House is releasing the famous autobiography in a new, complete edition with an introductory study by Carmelite Father Pavel Poly.
