Saint John of the Cross is the Churchs premier teacher on contemplative prayer. Catholic tradition even calls him the Mystical Doctor. The sixteenthcentury Carmelite priest not only wrote four massive treatises on the spiritual life, along with some of the finest poetry in the Spanish language, but also worked alongside Teresa of ?vila in renewing the Carmelite order. Th?r?se of Lisieux claimed she found no other spiritual reading that could satisfy her soul like John of the Cross.Yet the volume and intensity of Saint Johns work can make his teachings seem daunting, even to trained theologians. This book by Father Donald Haggerty, author of The Contemplative Hunger and Contemplative Enigmas, offers readers a unique stepbystep introduction to the way of contemplation as Saint John understood it and taught ita burning, transformative intimacy with the God who made us. Furnished abundantly with quotations from across the Mystical Doctors writings, this guidebook confronts the mysteries, difficulties, and joys of prayer, showing how silent contemplation prepares our hearts for an unspeakable love.For all his theological richness, Saint John gave practical, realistic advice on navigating the world of contemplation, and Father Haggertya spiritual director for decadesapplies these principles to our lives today. Whether you are new to prayer or have been praying since childhood, you will find an illuminating and surprising companion in Saint John of the Cross: Master of Contemplation.

I had high hopes for this book, but some passages felt a bit dense for my taste. There are incredible gems in it, but I sometimes struggled to stay engaged. Still, it’s worth a read if you’re patient and willing to dig deeper.

Not What I Expected
Unfortunately, I found this book a bit underwhelming. While Saint John’s thoughts are important, I was hoping for more practical guidance on contemplation. It feels more like a historical text than a modern-day manual for meditation.

A Beautifully Written Guide
This book is fantastic for anyone diving into contemplation. Saint John’s thoughts are beautifully written and resonate deeply. I will say, it took me a bit to get used to his style, but the journey was worth it.
