St John seems to have reached heights and depths of the human psyche and spirit the ordinary mortal cannot hope to match. Certainly St John's path contains many paradoxes and contradictions; I am sure if he had been born in the same period in Japan he would have been a great Zen ...             Dark Night of the Soul36 reviews St John of the Cross Hodder & Stoughton Religious excellent I became familiar with this when I was in college and I had difficulty with mental illness.

IT is pretty much an Angliscised version of the US First Aid Manual, with changes here and there reflecting transatlantic differences in approach. It is quite well laid out, with plenty of graphic (but not gory!) illustrations of interventions and is easy-to-understand. As a Registered First Aid Instructor/Examiner I find the previous edition ...             Ascent of Mount Carmel St. John of the Cross Dover Publications, 2008 The famed sixteenth-century Spanish mystic's incomparable guide to spiritual life illuminates the path through confusion and despair that leads to union with God.

What a master of language! Unfortunately, the English translation doesn't try very hard to replicate the poetic elements. So the translation seems a little wooden. Usually accurate, but no more. This is a good book for those who want to appreciate the Spanish text, but if you don't know Spanish, the English won't give you a good feel for ...             The Spiritual Counsels of Father John of Kronstadt3 reviews St John of the Cross James Clarke Company, 1987 The Hard Truth As a man who lived "in the world", rather than removed from it, Father John of Kronstadt is an excellent source for people wanting to know about living a Christian life of prayer.

I've read the poems in at least three different translations and Nim's were the only ones which made me cry like when I read the Spanish for the first time. There is something plaintive and erotic about John of the Cross that other tranlators edit out for propriety's sake, but Nims left it in as one should. John was a lover of the Song of Songs ...             The Collected Works St. John of the Cross ICS Publications, 1979 Contents: The Ascent of Mount Carmel.- The Dark Night.- The Spiritual Canticle.- The Living Flame of Love.- The Minor Works.- Poetry.             Ascent of Mount Carmel (Great Christian Mystical Classics) St John of the Cross Revelation Insight, 2007 Here is one who has ascended Jacob s Ladder St John has done what few others before or have since accomplished.
