The Interior Castle, translation by Mirabai Starr

This is a brilliant translation. I work as a spiritual director and have recommended this and her other books to all my "directees." But more than that-- it reads like a novel. Such a difference from the stilted formal translations of earlier centuries. It brings St. Theresa alive, and as you read you'll feel you are having a spiritual experience yourself. You put down the book resonating, and her words will stay with you for days.

Spare the time

Spirituality development and growth can be difficult in these modern times. St Teresa's life and spiritual journey can easily be taken in small doses and applied daily. Her mystical visions can be understood personaly - a rare treat.
