Teresa of Avila’s Way provides a glimpse of the great sixteenth-century Spanish mystic and reformer’s inner life, set squarely within the context of her time and place. Keeping in balance her interior experience of God and her sense of mission as societal critic and religious reformer, the book delves in Teresa’s decision to set out on the path of prayer, her growing friendship and love, her conversion away from her world’s values and expectations, and her extraordinary apostolic fruitfulness.
