Book Reviews of Interior Castle
Book Review: ONLY FOR ESSAY READERS
Summary: 5 Stars
This is mystical theology. If are a researcher like I am, this is an awesome bookBook Review: So much unsaid....
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a hard book to read due to MY expectations. I was expecting details where St. Teresa gives almost none. One realizes why in the long run, simply that to give the details of HER experience would limit your thoughts on how God would interact with you. Yet, it is frustrating to read this and realize that she could be telling us so much more in regards to what she has been shown by God. I rate it 5 stars though because in the end one realizes that to find out what she knows, YOU are going to have to tread a likewise path...no freebies here. Therefore St. Teresa (really the Holy Spirit) is telling you no more than you need to know to become interested in following the path, and subsequently trodding that path. For those of us who are so used to getting on the Net and finding the easy way to solve a puzzle...well, God doesn't publish the Cheat Codes....Book Review: St Teresa's Insight into Warfare
Summary: 5 Stars
By Sister Faith Magdalena, OSF FODCOne of the Christian Classics, St. Teresa of Avilia's journal, Interior Castles, is a work that is experienced on different levels each time the reader "revisits it." Over the years I have read this work many times, and each visit is a new experience bearing fresh revelations. She writes with insight into the various phases of personal human experience. She takes us to places within the human soul and psyche, recognizing the demonic and holy, along with the mundane and the sublime. A contemporary of St. John of the Cross, and a victim of the Inquisition, this Carmelite sister understood the high price exacted for belief and the ultimate cost should one abandon it.
Many modern authors have written on "Spiritual Warfare" and "Demonology", however, in my estimation, "Interior Castles" with its authors' clarity of insight remains fresh and pertinent to contemporary life.
Book Review: The Interior Castle
Summary: 5 Stars
St. Teresa of Avila does an outstanding--and remarkably contemporary--job of reviewing the journey toward spiritual maturity. Her insightful analysis provides a map for pilgrims, outlining both the rewards and difficulties encountered as we travel. For those serious about spiritual formation, Teresa of Avila's book is a "must."Book Review: The Interior Castle

Recommended by a long-lost, dear friend. I hadn't realized what a mystic Teresa was. A new dimension to this beloved saint. Simply wonderful!
