Gold Must Be Tried By Fire

By Richard Aumerle Maher

Book Overview

""Gold Must Be Tried By Fire"" is a book written by Richard Aumerle Maher that explores the life and teachings of St. Teresa of Avila, a 16th century Spanish mystic and reformer of the Carmelite Order. Maher delves into the spiritual journey of St. Teresa, examining her writings and experiences with prayer, contemplation, and mystical visions. He also explores her role in the Counter-Reformation and her efforts to reform the Carmelite Order, which were met with resistance and persecution from some members of the Church. Maher argues that St. Teresa's teachings and example offer valuable insights for contemporary Christians seeking a deeper relationship with God. The book is a compelling blend of biography, spiritual reflection, and historical analysis, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of St. Teresa's life and legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
