A Month with…. Series:
These short books each contain 62 prayers and readings, one for each morning and evening for a month. They will help the reader to steep him- or herself in the writings and thoughts of some of the most beloved saints and writers throughout history. Also included in each book is an introduction, featuring quotations from well-known authors in their fields, that will supply vital background information and will introduce that saint or writer’s particular appeal.
St Teresa of Avila lived in sixteenth-century Spain and was tireless in her reform of the Carmelite Order. Her writings include her famous description of prayer as friendship with Christ and her image of the soul as a castle with God at its centre.
