[easyazon-link asin=”B004TPZW96″ locale=”us”]The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus by Teresa of Avila[/easyazon-link] |
| Written at the command of her confessors, the books of this 16th century Spanish saint and mystic (a beloved friend to another great Spanish mystic, John of the Cross), St. Teresa’s writings remain classics of Christian mysticism. Less abstract and theoretical than her friend, Teresa’s works are no less noteworthy for the brilliance of their ability to convey with both warmth and rigor some flavor of this most extraordinary experience: union with God. Her autobiography may well be the best entry point into her work and into the great mystical literature of the Christian church. Here she describes her early life and education, the conflicts and crisis she underwent, culminating in her determination to enter fully into the path of prayer.

The Practice of the Presence of God was a salve when I desperately needed one. Still reeling from the transition from being a missionary/teacher overseas to being just a retail clerk in Ohio trying to pay the bills, Brother Lawrence helped me re-calibrate and reevaluate whether the most value could be found in grandiose gestures rooted in self-importance, or ordinary, humble acts rooted in love. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs the same.
