Teresa of Avila: The Way of Prayer by ed. Kieren Kavanagh, OCD

After an extensive and informative introduction covering Teresa's childhood, her life as a nun, and her work as a foundress, Kavanagh presents a valuable selection of writings from the Spanish mystic's works, illustrating her interior experience and remarkable teaching on prayer. "These selections permit us to 'taste and see' God's revelation to a woman totally surrendered to God - living theology, in other words." - Kevin Culligan, OCD.
