Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
She was the last person anyone would have expected to become a nun, yet she became one of the most famous nuns of all time. She was a brilliant administrator in a world where such vocations were all but closed to women. And above all she combined an astonishing proclivity for ecstatic union with God with downtoearth practicality and good humor. Teresa of vila (15151582) is one of the most beloved of the Catholic saints. Her texts of spiritual instruction, such as The Interior Castle and The Way of Perfection, speak so plainly and eloquently about the interior life that they have become undisputed classics, studied by people of many faiths. In 1562, at the request of the Spanish Inquisition, Teresa sat down to write an account of the mystical experiences for which she had become famous. The result was this book, one of the great classics of spiritual autobiography.With this fresh translation of The Book of My Life, Mirabai Starr brings the inimitable Spanish mystic to life for a new generationwith contemporary English that mirrors Teresas own earthy, vernacular Spanish, and that presents us withfour centuries after Teresas deathsomeone we feel we know: a woman intoxicated with God yet filled with an overflowing love for the world.
