Let Nothing Disturb You: A Journey to the Center of the Soul with Teresa of Avila

I skimmed through the book and I do like it. However, the pages from beginning to and including pages are missing. The book I ordered and received was supposed to be in good condition. The rest of the book is in good condition. I really don't want the hassel of a return at this time but I do hope this doesn't happen too often. I've put a NEW (condition) one on my wish list for purchase later as I'd love to have the whole book. I do enjoy the convenience and value of Thift Books, so for now, I will continue to order from here.

Such beauty and wisdom found in Teresa of Avila's "Let Nothing Disturb You." For those seeking a daily devoltional book, this is one to keep nearby. Although Teresa is a 15th century Carmelite nun, her writings are timeless and relevant today. I love the book because I can begin my day with her words, work with a seed thought which usually has something to do with my day, and end my night with such beautiful wisdom. Sometimes I'll work with a passage for days because something has deeply resonated within and I want to pay attention. Working with Teresa is a truly mystical experience. Have given this book to a number of friends.

Caroline Myss did a great job of synthesizing St. Theresa of Avila's philosophy of life into 30 short readings, a quote for each day, and an evening prayer. It is a good way to begin to know the Saint and will encourage the seeker to read more of St. Theresa's writings.

If you are searching for a great little book to establish a daily Christian meditation cycle - this is the one to get! It sure brings great comfort to the soul and guides you on a daily basis through various meditative thoughts about God with daily morning and evening prayers which truly focusses on the essence of our connection to our maker and is a wonderful,inspirational comfort in times of confusion and distress - or can be simply a great help to take our minds out of the daily business we can get lost in so easily. Highly recommended!

I really like the ideas in this book and the set up. I have two toddlers and about 5 minutes(or less) in the morning is all I can dedicate to a book like this. I used it during lent, but it would be good anytime.

Teresa of Avila has a way of making you think more deeply during a devotional time than you would normally think. She gets straight to your soul and makes you connect your spirit to the Holy Spirit. Her faith is practical and meaningful for all. Irregardless of denomination, don't miss this!
