There are 12 articles in this book by 10 Carmelite authors and on a variety of subjects. I've read and re-read Keith Egans's and a little of a couple of others. All very worthwhile, though not all easy reads. Keith Egan has a good grasp of Carmelite spirituality and writes in a compelling way, much as he lectures.

this was a freebie from the MGLs and it is a hidden gem! i loved its balance of orthodoxy and freshness - it offers an ancient tradition to a modern generation. my three favourite essays were 'the solitude of carmelite prayer,' 'thérèse and the eternal shore' and 'passion in the carmelite tradition: edith stein.' i wish it included something by ruth burrows, whose writings firmly confirmed my love for carmelite spirituality, which are also written with such clarity and relevance for our times now.

Lo leí durante un retiro, son diferentes ensayos sobre la espiritualidad carmelita. El mejor es el 5 “Jesus Christ in the Carmelite Prayer” y otro sobre la diferencia entre depresión y “spiritual darkness”.

Leer a Teresa de Ávila o Juan de la Cruz me recuerda lo profundo que es la vida de oración y lo poco que experimentamos en ella por ruido, falta de compromiso y otros factores.
