Learned, Experienced, and Discerning

St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross on Spiritual Direction

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Christian life is a grand journey. And like any pilgrimage along unfamiliar roads, we can benefit from having experienced guides and trustworthy companions along the way. Through their classic spiritual texts, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross offer valuable maps of tried paths along the way. At the same time, they were both experienced and sought-after spiritual companions for many others. Their timeless insights into the qualities that should mark a good spiritual director--earned, experienced, and discerning--are the fruit of their own prayer, reflection, and rich personal experience as guides and as people guided by others.
