Deeply spiritual and profoundly human, this 16th-century masterpiece is the work of a revered saint. Teresa of Avila visualized the soul as a many-faceted diamond, with the ecstasy of divine communion at its center.

with `His Majesty,' God. I enjoyed it immensely

Not all are mystics like Teresa of Avila, nor are all intellectuals like Thomas Aquinas. One is not superior to the other. This writing is for the mystic. Her writing and aided by the translation of E. Allison Peers, is so conversational and written in a down to earth and highly accessible language style. Not written in ivory tower scholarly dialogue, but it is, at the same time, quite lofty.
Sr. Teresa is a tour guide through the mansions of prayer with the utmost reverence for our Lord, obedience, and charity for the faith. She gives practical insights to scripture, and how to know what is really from God, and what is from the deceiver. I loved it, and found it highly comforting. I couldn't put it down and took so many notes that I've referred back to. Highly recommended.

This little book is powerful to read. Spiritually provocative, challenging, and insightful. I have read and reread chapters and could easily reread them yet again. Sister Teresa shares the spiritual journey though different levels of encountering God. She informs, encourages, warns even admonishs her readers as they proceed from one "mansion" to another.

Thoughtful
God speaks. Unless we listen, we will miss his wisdom, peace, comfort for our individual lives until we go to our eternal home.

Inspiring read.
It's not easy to understand all that we are being taught, but if you persevere, you will see that these words actually relate to the trials you are going through now.

Confusing and hard to understand!
I made this purchase based on what previous readers wrote. Upon reading the first couple of chapters, I was finding it very hard to understand what it was trying to convey. Read more
