A Month with St Teresa of Avila

Prayers and readings allowing the reader to spend a month with St Teresa of Avila. This short book contains 62 prayers and readings (one each morning and evening for a month). It will help the reader to steep him- or herself in the writings and thoughts of this favourite saint, and the introduction will introduce Teresa of Avila's particular appeal. The special angle unique to this series of books is the way they accompany the reader on a month-long journey with a favourite saint or writer. 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. Edited by Rima Devereaux, author of Last Thing at Night and Constantinople and the West in Medieval French Literature, as well as numerous articles and book reviews, several short stories, and an unpublished novel.
