The Way of Perfection
A practical guide to prayer, marked by warmth, simplicity, and spiritual insight.
This classic of the interior life and Christian mysticism was written by the sixteenth-century Spanish mystic and Carmelite nun St. Teresa of Avila. It forms a practical guide to prayer that embraces readers with its warmth and accessibility.
Teresa's detailed directions on the achievement of spiritual perfection designate three essentials: fraternal love, detachment from material things, and true humility. She discusses a variety of maxims related to the practice of prayer and concludes with a commentary on the Lord's Prayer.
A work of mystical beauty, The Way of Perfection is above all a treatise of simplicity that offers lucid instruction to seekers of a more meaningful way of life. This edition includes E. Allison Peers's translation.
