The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila by Herself
'The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila by Herself' is the autobiographical account of Saint Teresa of Avila, a prominent 16th century Spanish mystic, Carmelite nun, theologian, and writer of the Counter Reformation. Saint Teresa of Avila was born in 1515 in Avila, Spain to a wealthy and prominent family. After the death of her mother when she was 11, she went to live with the Augustinian nuns and devoted the rest of her life to the church until her death in 1582. Believed to have been written prior to 1567 at the direction of her confessor, Father Pedro Ibanez, Saint Teresa's autobiography has a didactic tone, similar to many of her other writings.

Interior Castle
The acclaimed modern translation of St. Teresa of Avila's classic book on spiritual awareness and guidance Celebrated for almost five centuries as a master of spiritual literature, 16th-century saint Teresa of Avila is one of the most beloved religious figures in history. Overcome one day by a mystical vision of a crystal castle with seven chambers, each representing a different stage in spiritual development, Teresa immediately wrote The Interior Castle. Probably her most important and widely studied work, it guides the spiritual seeker through each stage of development until the soul's final union with the divine. Free of religious dogma, this modern translation renders St. Teresa's work a beautiful and practical set of teachings for seekers of all faiths in need of spiritual guidance.

The Way of Perfection
God will always give us more than we ask for Millions have read and benefited from this book since it was first written nearly 500 years ago. St. Teresa's message of humility, simplicity, persistence, and faith is replete with language that is at times earthy, and full of self deprecating humor. Rendered here into contemporary English, St. Teresa's words, with their warm-hearted approach to Christian transformation, will help you look deeply into what it really means, sometimes in the smallest of details, to have a relationship with Jesus. 'Teresa lays out the time-tested path of Christian tranformation and union with God for those of us who will never be monastics, much less desert-dwelling hermits. Who among us does not need to know how to turn trouble into spiritual good, how to lovingly bear minor slights and major wounds, how to forgive and offer compassion?' Paula Huston, from the Foreword

Klosterstiftelserna
Ur Anders Arborelius förord: " När man läser Klosterstiftelserna kommer man nästan osökt att tänka på ett annat av den spanska litteraturens mästerverk, Don Quixote. Teresa och Don Quixote är ständigt på resande fot i guldålderns Spanien, men deras resa har både sitt ursprung, sin begynnelse och sitt mål i en högre värld. Båda kämpar för en hög princip och ett stort ideal i en ofta oförstående och avvisande miljö, som de i sin tur genomskådar och skildrar på det mest realistiska och burleska sätt. Båda ser livet i all dess tragik, samtidigt som de sprudlar av humor. Båda förkroppsligar det dåtida Spanien, men på samma gång något som är evigt och universellt i människan: hennes outsläckliga längtan efter att få leva och dö för ett högre syfte, för Någon som är större än hon själv."
Brev I Urval
Gud behandlar sina vänner på ett förskräckligt sätt, men detta innebär rakt inte att han förorättar dem, för så har han också behandlat sin Son. (Ur ett brev mars 1578)"Bekymra er inte för något, för när saker och ting tycks gå bra, brukar jag vara ännu mer missnöjd än jag är nu! Ni vet ju att Herren alltid vill att vi skall inse att det är Hans Majestät(= Gud) som gör det som är bäst för oss: För att man skall förstå detta bättre och inser att verket är hans, brukar han tillåta tusentals motgångar. Och det är då som allt förlöper på bästa sätt." (Ur ett brev 16 februari 1577)"Jag vet inte hur det kommer sig att jag inte kan låta bli att älska er så högt, fast ni vållar mig så mycket bekymmer. Jag glömmer allt meddetsamma." (Ur ett brev 1 februari 1580)
