Product Description

Synopsis
Collected here in this omnibus edition are all three of St. John of the Cross' major works as well as twenty of his magnificent poems. The Ascent of Mount Carmel is the third major work of St. John of the Cross and is considered to be the introductory work on mystical theology. Dark Night of the Soul is one of the greatest religious poems ever written. This masterpiece of Mystic Christianity examines faith and how to keep faith when all seems lost. Think of it as guide to making it through the dark night of the soul to the brighter, happier, faith filled tomorrow that awaits. In A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom Christ, St. John states: "I do not purpose here to set forth all that greatness and fullness the spirit of love, which is fruitful, embodies in it. Yes, rather it would be foolishness to think that the language of love and the mystical intelligence - and that is what these stanzas are - can be at all explained in words of any kind, for the Spirit of our Lord who helps our weakness."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 9 Jul 2008
By J. Curran (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Contains exactly what it says - Ascent of Mount Carmel, Dark Night of the Soul, A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and all Twenty Poems. I read reviews saying none of it was contained in this book which surprised me. I got this as a gift and it was exactly what I was looking for. Don't let other reviews put you off buying this book it has it all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amazing ... but be sure you get the right one!, 30 Jun 2008
By T. Needham (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An amazing and profoundly spiritual collection of writings which should be read by all, especially those who are familiar with suffering in life. It helps give meaning to much of the pain and suffering we experience, turning much of what we feel to be negative in life into something positive and profoundly beneficial.

Do be careful however! I bought one copy and it contained the writings of Baron Eugene Fersen, a non-Christian scientific spiritualist rather than what was advertised; I then purchased another copy - second time lucky - thankfully getting what I wanted. Make sure you get the right one!

I would give the book five stars, but since I'm editing a previous review, I cannot change the rating.
