About this listen

 Written with the overflowing sincerity and inner fire that characterize Saint Teresa of Ávila, The Book of Her Life stands as one of the most moving and profound testimonies in the spiritual history of the West. In these pages, the great mystic of the sixteenth century recounts her inner journey—her struggles, visions, trials, and transformations—with an authenticity that transcends the centuries.
This edition, carefully rendered into contemporary English, allows today’s readers to engage directly with Teresa’s experience, free from the barriers of archaic language. The accompanying commentary seeks to bridge the gap between the culture of the Spanish Golden Age and the modern reader, providing explanations of both the theological context and the psychological and spiritual nuances of the narrative.
More than a mere autobiography, The Book of Her Life is a guide for the soul in search of God, a passionate account of the process of conversion and total surrender. Ideal both for those approaching Saint Teresa for the first time and for those wishing to delve deeper into her work, this edition offers a vibrant, accessible, and deeply transformative reading experience.
