The Autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila: The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus12 reviews
Tan Books & Publishers, 1997
The Ecstasy of St. Teresa
I've always marvelled at Bernini's statue, Ecstasy of St. Teresa, which seems to precede art deco by centuries. Since this Penguin edition shows it on the cover, I was naturally drawn to this book. Having cracked the cover, however, I couldn't put it down; it's gripping, amusing and eminently readable--everything we know so-called devotional literature is not.
Post-moderns will find in this ...

Teresa of Avila: The Book of My Life8 reviews
Mirabai Starr
New Seeds, 2008
This is the book of All Our Lives
Mirabai Starr is a genius once again. Having read her previous translations, "Dark Night of the Soul" by John of the Cross, and Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila--I expected "The Book of My Life" to be compelling. But I didn't expect it to knock my socks off. Teresa's Book of Lives paints a portrait of a mystic in the making, and over time we begin to see where Teresa is headed---the ...

Charming the Prince115 reviews
Teresa Medeiros
Bantam, 1999
Laugh out loud Funny
This book was good, I enjoyed it, especially since it was laugh out loud funny. The problem is that the tone in the first 2/3rds of the book is funny and light, and moves directly to serious with a mystery in the last third of the book. Had the book kept it's light tone and flowed a little smoother, it could have earned 5 stars. It has LOTS of kids in the book, which I enjoyed, some who may ...

The Interior Castle: Or, The Mansions (Forgotten Books)28 reviews
St. Teresa of Avila
Forgotten Books, 2007
Knowing Christ
An excellent book that deals with the process of knowing and surrendering ones life to Jesus Christ. One is struck by the deep passion to have an intimate relationship with Jesus and what a person is willing to forsake for that relationship. One will not agree with all that is said but will be challenged to describe what you do believe and how does it apply to your own life. It is a book that ...

Everything Starts from Prayer: Mother Teresa's Meditations on Spiritual Life for People10 reviews
Mother Teresa
White Cloud Press, 2000
You'll almost feel as if Mother Teresa is speaking to you directly!
I've long known that a book's length doesn't guarantee
that it will be worth reading . . . such is the case
with EVERYTHING STARTS FROM PRAYER: MOTHER
TERESA'S MEDITATIONS ON SPIRITUAL LIFE FOR PEOPLE
OF ALL FAITHS by Anthony Stern.
It is short, but oh so powerful . . . and as the subtitle implies, it
is applicable for people of any faith.
As I was reading it, I kept having to pause ...

D. Jeanene Watson
Mott Media (MI), 1984
Great Book!
This book tells about the joys and struggles of Mother Teresa. It tells about her childhood, how she announced she wanted to be a nun, and about the children of India. She sets up a hospital for injured people, visits lepars and more. This book tells of how Mother Teresa lived, and what she sacrificed. This book is awesome and I recommend it to anyone.

What a wonderful book...
This was the first Teresa Medeiros book that I've read & it certainly won't be the last. I would probably put this book in my top 5 favorites. This book had me laughing out loud so many times.
Description from the back of the book:
Dear Reader,
I never enjoyed being a wanted man until the day Miss Esmerelda Fine marched into the Tumbleweed Saloon and pointed her derringer straight ...

If you've never been introduced to Teresa of Avila, this is a good way
I noticed the previous reviews of this book are all over the place from 5 stars to 1 star and almost equally balanced in those ratings. But I think this book is for a particular audience and in that light is an excellent book.
I think the audience for this book is for the person, not previously introduced to St Teresa of Avila. When I purchased this book to read some 6 or 7 years ago, I ...

Good introduction to this Doctor of the Church
OK, let's say you have made a beginning on the way of prayer, and you have been looking for good sources to read. You have heard a lot about St. Teresa of Avila. After all, she was one of the first women ever named a Doctor (in the Latin meaning of "teacher") of the Church. But lo and behold, you have found her Life puzzling and The Interior Castle just about impossible to understand. Then ...

I loved it!
Wanted: strong female lead, damaged alpha male, witty banter, new take on an old story.
First I want to thank amazon and all the other reviewers and listmania for letting me know about this book. I've never heard of the author, but I will be reading some more of her stuff! It's bit a twist on the classic beauty and the beast tale, which I've always loved. I enjoyed the way the author wrote the ...

Channeling Peace, Beauty and Spirit
It's not often the words "work of art" and "biography" go together in the same description. In fact I'd have to say that up until recently I was of the general opinion that children's biographies tended to be dull and uninteresting-mostly written for the purpose of providing children with the pedestrian facts they require on research assignments. Authors/ illustrators like Demi have served to ...
