    About this ebook

    Saint Teresa of Avila, a famous Christian mystic, wrote the Interior Castle or the Mansions, which includes seven mansions, each mansion for a level, and each level brings the believer closer to God. This 16th century work acts as a guidebook for prayer and religious meditation, to help the soul pass through each of the seven stages into the Glory that is God.

    • 4/5
      Very deep and spiritually moving. This book shows us how to bet closer to God in prayer. It also exposes traps set by the devil.
    • 4/5
      This discourse on mysticism written for the aid of her fellow Discalced Carmelite nuns, written from the heart is surprisingly readable given the distance in time between Teresa and the modern reader. There is a genuineness that shines out from each page. This is closer to a memoir than it is to a treatise. It is hard not to be constantly aware of the strength of her vision that must have been so vivid to her contemporaries, in a way that allowed her to move beyond the structured expectations for a woman, for a nun in 16th Century Spain. Kieran Kavanaugh's translation is highly readable. And his introduction is informative, a great help in providing context for her writing and her life.
    • 5/5
      I've never made it though the entire book but I love St. Theresa's ideas which have helped my faith grow considerably.
    • 4/5
      I could tell this was an informative, experiential, and intimate look at the spiritual inner life; however I think I am still stuck outside the proverbial castle gate.
    • 5/5
      Christian Classic! This is the measuring stick I read every few years. It's not to be read as a measure for achievement for bragging or boasting but a cultured humility garnered through failing and surrendering into the arms of grace.
    • 5/5
      For the first time in well over 70 years, this work is now available. This particular work is the translation by The sisters of Stanbrook Abbey. This effort is also a critical examine against that of Allison Peers, infamous version.
    • 5/5
      This translation of a classic in Western Christian mysticism is one of the best.
