In this book, Fr. Peter Slattery gives a refreshing account of the Carmelite spiritual tradition and the important people who have shaped its history, including Elijah, Mary, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, Titus Brandsma, and Edith Stein. The Carmelite spirituality that emerges is not something relevant to the Middle Ages or the 16th century. With its emphasis on love and freedom it is an extremely pertinent gift for today’s world. This book will be welcomed both by newcomers to the Carmelite spiritual tradition and those who have had actual experience of it. This is an updated 2nd edition.
