Classic of the spiritual life,
By
This review is from: I Want to See God: A Practical Synthesis of Carmelite Spirituality (Paperback)
This book is a great synthesis of the spiritual life and is good for all Christians. P. Marie-Eugene explains all the facets of Carmelite spirituality in a very down-to-earth, practical way. He takes the reader through all of the different stages of the spiritual life (purgative, illuminative, unitive) with the aid of spiritual powerhouses like Sts. Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross. It is also a good primer for those seeking a foundation in spiritual theology; it also serves well as a moral theology text.

I Want to See God,
By
This review is from: I Want to See God: A Practical Synthesis of Carmelite Spirituality (Paperback)
It is a great summary and an easy to grasp digest of Carmelite Spirituality. It is a wonderful read either individually, in a book club format, or with a Spiritual Director. The subtitle explains the goal of the book: A Practical Synthesis of Carmelite Spirituality. This information can become practical knowledge by answering to these questions after each chapter: What does this mean to me? How can I implement this information in my life? It is a priceless book for those who search for truth and want to grow in the love of God.

Excellent Book,
This review is from: I Want to See God: A Practical Synthesis of Carmelite Spirituality (Paperback)
This book summarizes Carmelite Spirituality through different essays. What I like best is how they have managed to make John of the Cross' spirituality "easy". I have always found him hard to read.The essays also speak about of of John of the Cross' contemporary: Teresa of Avila. While I found her interesting, I'm still trying to get a better understanding of her "7 Mansions." Great book, nevertheless. If you like this type of book, I also recommend the Fulfillment of all Desire. In this particular book you will find practical suggestions on how to get closer to God and achieve holiness. Aida L. Irizarry
