"It delighted me to think of my soul as a garden in which the Lord walked," wrote St. Teresa in 16th century Spain. Neither lofty nor inaccessible, Teresa is a companion, and has guided many Christians on the journey through their own "interior castles." This book takes us through her life and writings for a full year, with daily selections from her letters, poems, and memoirs as well as spiritual and theological musings, rendered into contemporary English by Bernard Bangley. Honest, humorous, and insightful, Teresa's devotional reflections show readers how to live as though they were in the presence of God.
