Andrea (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: At the Fountain of Elijah: The Carmelite Tradition (Traditions of Christian Spirituality.) (Paperback)

I read this book and realized what this religion is all about. This book tells you about the original traditons got started and and great they really are and how rich they are with history. I gave this to three of my friends and they agree with me. I enjoyed this book very much and it helped me to get back to the basics!
