About this listen

The 16th-century Spanish Carmelite nun St Teresa of Ávila was a prominent figure in the Catholic Reformation, and her writings have continued to inspire philosophers, theologians, historians, and countless others interested in Christian spirituality and mysticism. She distilled her own experience into this beautifully direct and accessible "living book", The Way of Perfection, as a guide for nuns in her convent.

Containing practical advice on how to approach the spiritual life, to progress through prayer and meditation, and achieve a greater connection with God, it remains fascinating as a practical and historical document.

Heaven revealed on earth in the thoughts of Teresa of Avila. A not so famous book from this great saint - you could find it even more helpful than the interior castle. I’ve listened to it about 20 times now!

Saint Teresa’s book of great profundity yet simplicity.
