THE LIFE OF TERESA OF JESUS THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SAINT TERESA OF AVILA translated by Allison Peers.

Written in 1565 at the request of her confessor, St. Teresa’s autobiography is at once an extraordinary chronicle of a life governed by the desire to draw closer to God and a literary masterpiece that brings to life a woman of candor, humor, and great spiritual strength. Teresa writes of her early life, the conflicts and crises she faced, and her decision to enter a life of prayer. Paper.
