The Ascent of Mt. Carmel, by St. John of the Cross
Regarded as St. John's most popular work, The Ascent of Mt. Carmel is a remarkable guide to the spiritual life. Shortly after St. John of the Cross was proclaimed to be a Doctor of the Church, Pope Pius XI praised his work as "a guide and handbook for the man of faith who proposes to embrace a life of perfection." By emptying ourselves of earthly distractions - memory, will and sensual desires - we can make room for the pure light of God's grace. Paperback, 352 pages.
