Draws you to desire divine union

Ronda not only shares the prayers of the women mystics, but also gives some biographical information as well. I found this book in Colorado many years ago, and I have read sections of it many times over. I especially go back to St. Teresa of Avila's section, as I identified much with her biographical information. Ronda chose women from all different geographical areas and nations. You will probably find one in particular that you like to refer back to time and again. If you are a woman or man of prayer, craving deeper experiences with our Lord in this life, you too will enjoy this very well done treasure, and praying the prayers of the women mystics.

Praying like the spiritual Olympians

This book takes us into the life, mind and soul of nineteen of the great women mystics, starting with Saint Hildegard of Bingen in the 12th century through Adrienne von Speyr of the 20th. We learn of the fascinating and amazing experiences and insights of these humble, devoted women who soared to unimaginable spiritual heights on the wings of the Holy Spirit. Both Catholic and non-Catholics God-seekers owe Ronda De Sola Chervin a debt a reader gratitude for making the lives, thoughts, struggles, triumphs and prayers of the great saints and blesseds so accessible. Their words and prayers are an invaluable guide for all striving to attain a knowledge of and friendship with God.
