5.0 out of 5 stars
A very good and accessible biography. . .,
By David Zampino "21st Century Hobbit" (Delavan, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: John of Cross: Man and Mystic (Paperback)
. . .of St. John of the Cross.
St. John of the Cross was a complex man. Mystic, theologian, reformer, poet -- St. John was all of these and more. Yet our modern society too often shunts him to the side. Hardy, in this well-written and human biography, brings out the "soul" of the man who was (along with St. Teresa of Avila) the backbone of the reform of the Carmelite order. Anyone interesed in St. John of the Cross -- or Carmelite spirituality in general -- would do well to read this book. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A clear and understandable biography,
This review is from: John of Cross: Man and Mystic (Paperback)
Since the writings of this Christian Mystic are daunting, this guide to the life and times of the author is a great help. It is very clearly written, with good insights and careful research.

This review is from: John of Cross: Man and Mystic (Paperback)
This book is selling for over $140 dollars on Amazon and elsewhere for from $50 dollars to over $100 dollars...I bought this book brand new today - April 7, 2010 - from a small Catholic bookstore in Connecticut FOR $14.95...so why is it so outrageously expensive everywhere else? If anyone wants to know where to get this book - from St. Michael's book store,contact me and I'll give you the information....
