Mirabai Starr has given us new translations The Interior Castle and The Book of My Life by Teresa of Avila. In this volume in Sounds True's "Devotions, Prayers & Living Wisdom" series, she includes commentaries on her wisdom, stories about her life and service, and prayers. Short passages from her writings are perfect for a daily reflection and prayer session.
Starr describes Teresa as a tireless reformer of the church and a valuable patron of St. John of the Cross. She celebrates the mystical connection between the lover (the soul) and the Beloved (God); the cultivation of an inner life through contemplative prayer; and the difficulties faced in human relationships. She also looks at Teresa's visions and voices.
