This review is from: Entering Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle: A Reader's Companion (Paperback)
After reading Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle several times and examining my prayer life and experiences, I bought this book so as to supplement my understanding of spiritual growth. This book has really helped me to further understand the Interior Castle. It says a lot in a few words and so I encourage others to read and reflect upon it a little at a time.
