Praying with St. John of the Cross

Seeking the Beloved

A friend of mine suggested I read Wayne Simsic’s Seeking the Beloved: A Prayer Journey with St. John of the Cross, offering the book pretty high praise: “I never ‘got’ John of the Cross until I read this book,” she said. That alone made me think it was worth checking out. And I would agree that this is an excellent primer to the great mystical theologian, deftly and accessibly interpreting his teachings in ways that make sense to the ordinary person of our day.
