Publisher's Summary

Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582) is one of the most beloved of the Catholic saints. In 1562, during the era 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 generation, with contemporary English that mirrors Teresa's own earthy, vernacular Spanish, and that presents us with - four centuries after Teresa's death - someone we feel we know: a woman intoxicated with God yet filled with an overflowing love for the world.

Amazing!

...you can see her writing and pondering on her life...and you can picture yourself sitting in her cell right next to her as she tell her story. She has a way of conversing with you...where you just want to listen, and listen, and keep on listening!
Saint Teresa of Jesus...pray for me...

Outstanding Narration of St Teresa

This is the best audio book of Teresa’s available. None are better narrated or translated. Thank you!
