Publisher's summary

Fr. William Meninger, OCSO, is one of the leading figures in the centering prayer movement. In this concise and beautifully written exposition, he guides the listener through two of the basic works of inner development by one of the most significant and influential of all Christian mystics, St. John of the Cross (1542-1591). These two texts - The Ascent of Mount Carmel and The Dark Night of the Soul - explore the inner spiritual journey in all its revelations and challenges, its moments of joy, and its moments of profound torment.

Fr. Meninger unfolds for contemporary contemplative seekers the essence of these classical texts, section by section. St. John of the Cross for Beginners is an invaluable introduction for anyone entering or considering Christian inner work, or wishing to go further on their path of development.

A Good Prep to read ST John of the Cross

“ST. John of the Cross for Beginners” is an in-depth look at the writings and spiritual perspective of ST John of the Cross. Fr. Meninger focuses on “The Ascent of Mount Carmel” and “The Dark Night of the Soul,” two of the more well know writings of ST John of the Cross, to assist us, “the Catholic in the Pew”, to be prepared for this very spiritual encounter. Some times it is advisable to read about an author’s writings and in this case spiritual perspective before reading the actual writings of the author is a good approach to the writings of St John of the Cross.

Well done

Concisely written. Well laid out. Though full modern analogies. I had to go through it several times because I’m new to the subject matter but it was worth it.
