Realizing Our Deepest Desires: Journeying Into the Joy of God: Reflections on St. Teresa of Avila's the Interior Castle - Paperback
by Bernie Owens (Author)
From his Jesuit background, Bernie Owens has written a twenty-first-century version of Teresa of Avila's sixteenth-century classic, The Interior Castle. He writes in an experiential, easy-to-read style with numerous contemporary stories taken from North American and African cultures to illustrate the seven stages of spiritual growth Teresa describes. His book is a map for those seeking guidance on how to grow into praying and living contemplatively and dispose themselves for entering the deeper stages of the spiritual journey. Finally, he names issues that frequently emerge during the spiritual journey, describes the way for becoming a Beloved Disciple of Jesus as a proven path for living intimately with Christ and the Triune God, and, lastly, presents the kind of God Teresa knew and fiercely loved.
