Written by a Carmelite solitary, this introduction to the Order focuses on its early years as a small group of hermits at the time of the Crusades and its development up to the era of the great 16th-century figures, with chapters on Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross.

Land of Carmel

Mercer University Press

This book is designed to introduce the reader to Teresa's life and teaching, setting her within the multifaceted historical and religious perspectives of sixteenth century Spain. In Teresa we meet a woman who retains a sparkle and originality that is timeless. She was a reformer of warmth and humor, of prayer and practical ability; a woman who was mother, sister, friend, teacher to many and who, by her life and writings, continues to inspire Christians of our own day.

LA Madre: The Life & Spirituality of Teresa of Avila

Alba House

Your director for this retreat, Loving Our Way Into Holiness, is Therese of Lisieux, who has been called the greatest saint of modern times. She discovered--rediscovered--a way open to anyone who wants sanctity. The way is simple: the path of complete trust, a child's trust in a loving Parent. She called her path the "little way" and anchored it in the word of God. Simple but not easy, the "little way" challenges our notions of sanctity as personal achievement, as strength of character, as undeviating fulfillment of laws and rules. It roots us in the sanctity of reality--the here and now, in ordinary life, lived under the providence of God.

Saint Anthony Messenger Press

In a retelling of the story of Ruth, this book offers an opportunity to see the Scriptural truth in our own lives and to value the sanctity and depth of each human life, with each chapter ending with a prayer that emphasizes the theme of human love being the root of all that is good.

Ruth and Naomi: A Story of Friendship, Growth and Change

Franciscan Media

This book is about A "Year with Mary", an invitation to live through the Christian year in the company of a woman who, through the centuries, has been like a mother, sister, and friend to countless followers of Jesus. Mary is loved and honored not just for herself but because she draws us closer to her Son.

Mystical teachings from a 14th century Norwich, England woman are featured in this book. Using selected illustrated excerpts from Julian's own Elizabeth Obbard has created a world where we learn about Julian, her life, insights, and hope at a time of widespread cynicism. Julian writes from her own experience with a directness of manner and speech that certainly appeals to contemporary readers. The selections give us a vivid view of life in 14th century England and Julian's confidence, hope, and love in an era of skepticism.

Those who turn to spiritual classics for guidance and inspiration often find their style daunting. The original texts still have much to offer but their diction and idiom, chosen for another era and audience, pose an obstacle to many contemporary readers. John of the Cross’ “Living Flame of Love” for Everyone is the second in a series that aims to make some of the greatest Christian teachers accessible to all. John of the Cross, an acknowledged master of spirituality, wrote The Living Flame not for his fellow Carmelites but for a layperson, a widow whom he had befriended. He reveals that the way of union is open to everyone, an especially powerful insight for a contemporary audience. The Living Flame, short though it is, contains a complete synthesis of his teaching.
