Mother Tessa Bielecki has brought together here short selections from Tessa's collected works - including The Way of Perfection, The Interior Castle, her autobiography, poetry, meditations, and letters - to create a living portrait of Teresa and her exuberant spirituality. Teresa's striving for divine union was inseparable from her passionate involvement in the hardships and joys of the everyday - which makes her an eminently worthy model for modern people who seek to integrate spirituality and the rest of life."
