Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is classic Catholic thought of the Mystery of Faith and brings us to the mind of God by empting one's self and waiting for God the Father to fill the void caused by sin; as self evident in today's world of materialism and lack of purpose beyond self gratification. We must fight our human weakness and we find purpose.
Unyielding spiritual precision
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I read The Ascent of Mount Carmel over a decade after my own conversion to Christianity. What astonished me the most was that St. John of the Cross described with absolute precision exactly how God had intereacted with me. He describes many ways in which God chooses to reveal himself to man, most of which I did not understand. But it would be my guess that if anyone has encountered God, that encounter is described somewhere in this book.
A detailed 'how to' guide on reaching spiritual nirvana.

I'd give it 5 stars except that it's a hard read in spots. Otherwise a brilliant mystical text on spiritual union with God. Whatever your spiritual beliefs this book will give you insights into improving your spiritual being.
