Interior Castle

Saint Teresa of Avila wrote THE INTERIOR CASTLE in 1577, inspired by a vision she had during an intense prayer session, in which she saw her soul as a glowing, radiant castle, wherein one?s progression from room to room brings one closer to the heart, and to God. In this inspiring work of mysticism, Teresa writes in a conversational, humble, even humorous, tone. In addition to the castle metaphor, Teresa expounds on prayer and mortification in a more distinctly Christian tradition. The insights and profundities of this book transcend its roots in any one distinct denomination, however, and should make a welcome addition to the library of any spiritual truth seeker.
