Publisher's Synopsis
St. Teresa of Avila is not a lofty, inaccessible saint; she's a companion, and has been taking Christians on a journey through their own interior "castles" for hundreds of years. Honest, humorous, and insightful, her devotional and spiritual reflections show readers how to open up themselves to God in new ways.
This journey through Teresa's life and writings will engage readers for a full year, with carefully chosen daily selections from the broad range of her writings-letters, poems, memoirs, as well as spiritual and theological musings. Bangley makes all of these writings accessible-and essential-in these new translations into contemporary English.
