Holy Thirst : Essentials Of Carmelite Spirituality

This volume presents all the essential themes of Carmelite spirituality, as exemplified in Carmelite classics such as The Way of Perfection of St. Teresa of Avila, The Ascent of Mount Carmel of St. John of the Cross, The Story of a Soul of St. Therese of Lisieux, and The Practice of the Presence of God of Brother Lawrence.
