Book Summary
Born into Spanish nobility in 1515, Teresa entered the monastic life at age 20 and was eventually guided to reform the Carmelite Order, where she introduced the practice of meditation. Megan Don makes Teresa's timeless wisdom fully contemporary through translations of Teresa's words followed by a practical interpretation and a brief, inviting meditation. Teresa and Don guide readers to explore the reality of the mystical, the voice of God and knowledge of the self, the restlessness of the mind and the care of the body, doubt, loss, intimacy, and more. Don brings modern psychological understanding to Teresa's principles and practices, highlighting Teresa's sophisticated understanding of the power (and difficulty) of regular prayer and meditation, and her passionate conviction that ?the mystery of divine indwelling [is] available to all people."
