The Marriage of All and Nothing by Barbara Dent

ed. M. Freiburger. Selected writings of Barbara Dent. The New Zealand author's intensely personal, experiential style gives "flesh and bones" to the notion of the "dark night of the soul" in this book. This she does as a mother, writer, poustnik and Carmelite Secular Order member. She reveals how adept a guide she is to managing the darkness of physical suffering and spiritual progress.
