Rediscovering the soul's passion,
This review is from: The Soul's Passion for God: Selected Writings of Teresa of Avila (Upper Room Spiritual Classics. Series I) (Upper Room Spiritual Classics Series 1) (Perfect Paperback)
This book is well-named, as it is evident right from the start that Teresa of Avila was indeed passionate about her God. Though the reader must obviously adjust for historical setting, Teresa's experience and relation of deeply spiritual prayer is powerful enough to make one examine one's own prayer life. Such an examination is both exhilirating and intimidating, but Teresa's writings are encouraging to Christians regardless of where they find themselves in their pilgrimage. The shortness of this book make it the perfect companion for daily devotions, or personal retreats.

The Soul's Passion for God: Selected Writings of Teresa of Avila,
By Anne Michael (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Soul's Passion for God: Selected Writings of Teresa of Avila (Upper Room Spiritual Classics. Series I) (Upper Room Spiritual Classics Series 1) (Perfect Paperback)
This is an excellent book. It is good for instruction or meditation. And it is short and very easy to read. I highly recommend the series of the Upper Room Spiritual Classics.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Not by Mother Teresa,
This review is from: The Soul's Passion for God: Selected Writings of Teresa of Avila (Upper Room Spiritual Classics. Series I) (Upper Room Spiritual Classics Series 1) (Perfect Paperback)
Though Amazon has listed Mother Teresa of Calcutta as the author of this book, it is actually by Teresa of Avila, who lived in the sixteenth century. Great stuff, but not by Mother Teresa
