The Interior Castle - Paperback

by St Teresa of Ávila (Author), Benedict Zimmerman (Author)

The Interior Castle, or The Mansions, was written by St. Teresa of vila, the Spanish Discalced Carmelite nun and famed mystic, in 1577 as a guide for spiritual development through service and prayer. Inspired by her vision of the soul as a diamond in the shape of a castle containing seven mansions, she interpreted life as the journey of faith through seven stages, ending with union with God.
