What does our soul's life look like?

This magnificent new edition of this classic to assists to illustrate the beauty of God's spirit and the beauty hidden within these pages. This edition of The Interior Castle, with its luxurious leatherette hardback, satin ribbon, golden gilt edges, reinforced sides for longevity, smyth-sewn binding, and gold foil, will both guide your spirit to Christ and beautify your home.

“I thought of the soul as resembling a castle, formed of a single diamond or a very transparent crystal, and containing many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions. If we reflect, sisters, we shall see that the souls of the just man is but a paradise, in which, God tells us, He takes His delight” (p. 7).

This book describes the spiritual life of the soul in extraordinary detail. The Interior Castle depicts the spiritual life as a trip via the images of a fascinating and magnificent castle, from the first release of the soul from mortal sin into sanctifying grace to the mystical marriage of the soul to Christ.

Saint Teresa writes about several important parts of our spiritual path in this book, using the picture of a castle, including:

Practical advice to those beginning their spiritual journey, especially regarding the early struggles and temptations to turn back
Descriptions of the seven mansions and what they mean for the soul
How and why we should love and serve the Divine Majesty
The value of our progress towards God

Saint Teresa of Avila's instructive, charming, compassionate and devout approach will encourage you to see the soul in a new light. You will desire the beautifying of your spirit above all material goods after reading The Interior Castle from the TAN Classics Deluxe Set.
