Synopsis

One of the most respected and adventurous of writers on the mystical traditions of Christianity, himself a Carmelite, Noel Dermot O'Donoghue has gathered together his definitive reflections on the three great mystical doctors of the Catholic Church: St Teresa of Avila ( Woman of Vision ), St John of the Cross ( Man of Fire ) and St Therese of Lisieux ( Child of the Little Way ). These inter-related and inter-woven essays are the mature fruit of a lifetime, written in the richly poetic way that readers have come to associate with this modern master of Celtic Christianity.

Media Reviews
'one of the most perceptive spiritual writers of our time' Religious Life Review 'I found this book... simply one of the most searching and moving I had encountered. It combines the sensibility to language and feeling of a poet with an astonishing intellectual boldness, a metaphysical energy; and every page is also recognisably the work of a pastor of unusual quality. This is a wonderful and visionary account of orthodox Christianity.' Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
