Written for the sisters of her reformed Carmelite community, The Way of Perfection offers Saint Teresa of Ávila’s guidance on growing in prayer and the contemplative life. Rather than presenting spirituality as an abstract ideal, Teresa addresses readers pursuing a shared religious vocation and considers the habits and dispositions that can help them draw closer to God.

Teresa’s counsel ranges across prayer, humility, detachment, and life in community. The book combines practical instruction with reflections on the spiritual purpose behind that instruction, giving listeners a sense of how contemplation is understood and practiced within the Carmelite tradition.

Rooted in sixteenth-century Catholic life, this is a work of religious guidance rather than a narrative. It may suit listeners interested in Christian contemplative practice, Teresa’s spiritual teaching, or the history of Carmelite devotion.

Gratitude


(5 Sterne)

I am indebted to Ms. Boulais for her volunteering to commit St. Teresa's works to the recorded word. Just having them freely availa ble and well executed is a tremendous grace and I am very thankful.

maybe another reader would be willing to try it

I really appreciate anyone who would take the time to record the reading of a whole book as a gift to the public domain. I think however that there is room for another person with a different voice to re-record this one. This book is such a great spiritual classic- it deserves a professional’s skill.

Another inspirational book by St Teresa


(5 Sterne)

I love the books written by St Teresa. Ann Boulais is a very dedicated reader that brings St Teresa's books to life. My favorite book is INTERIOR CASTLE, this book is my second favorite of St Teresa's books. Thank you Ann Boulais for your many hours of reading here on Librivox.

I had trouble getting past the pronunciations for this book. This narrator has a very unique way of pronouncing words and reading that did not appeal to me. So this is not a review of the book itself. I do appreciate their generous gift of narration but it didn’t appeal to me.


(5 Sterne)

It takes a little time to get used to the reader’s style, but the content of the book is excellent. Listened repeatedly.

Helpful steps & reminders

I would like to thank the reader of this book (Ann) for bringing the book to life. I could imagine St. Teresa speaking when she reads.
