A book that I will definitely have to come back to as there is too much to absorb. But I love how Teresa of Avila does a great job of pulling people into the best things they can do: prayer and action!

And to recognize that prayer is also a gift we receive from God as we spend time in His presence and is not meant to leave us with nothing to do after... But that to inspires us into action... And that as we are drawn to God there is nuances to each dwelling as we draw nearer and for And that each person will experience these dwellings in the different ways and St Teresa merely is a guide to help those of us lost in prayer to pick up again and realize it is possible to connect with God in a very real way.
