Interior Castle St Teresa of Avila (Pure Gold Classic) (Pure Gold Classics) Pap / Com Re edition

Teresa of Avila wrote several books during her life that have become spiritual classics. Interior Castle written in 1577, unveils a profound spiritual vision in which St. Teresa saw the soul as a castle made of a single diamond . . . surrounded by six mansions the soul must traverse on its journey to the center of the castle and union with God. One approached the seventh mansion in the center of the castle, where the King of Glory dwells, by going through the other mansions of Humility, Practice of Prayer, Meditation, Quiet, Illumination, and Dark Night. In each of the seven mansions readers will experience a deepening desire to know God more intimately by conforming their wills to His will.
