Product Description

Product Description
John of the Cross testifies to a God who longs to meet us in our deepest need. Whilst rejection and imprisonment played their part in the life of this sixteenth-century Spanish friar, John's poetry and prose reveal the beauty and power of a wondrous God. His writing draws us gently along the road of deepening relationship with this God of love, into the immense depth of life-giving prayer. It gives us courage to believe in the possibility of change in our own lives, however unlikely or impossible this may seem.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on a spiritual genius., 10 Feb 2002
In my opinion, no other mystic offers instruction on the spiritual path in such a systematic and helpful way as St. John of the Cross. This book is unique too, because (as far as I know) there is no other non-academic work which explores John's ideas so thoroughly and carefully.

It's a book to be read slowly, though, as John talks of a world and an experience which is utterly beyond and above most of our imaginations... yet one, he assures us, that is open and available for us all.

I can't recommend this book enough. It gave me hope, courage and inspiration - I hope it has a similar effect on you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Down-to-earth & uplifting guide to life on planet earth., 4 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This book takes John of the Cross off the shelf & out of the incomprehensible realm of 'mystic'. Matthew succeeds in making John's teaching relevant without compromising John's message. No small task but one for which modern readers should be grateful. I am.
