Dark Night of the Soul takes readers on a deeply
spiritual journey through challenges, hardships, difficulties,
and temptations to complete union with God. St. John narrates
this journey of the soul, which requires death to self and
detachment from the world. In a step-by-step process, he shows
how God can use this “dark night” to eventually bring our human
spirits into great illumination, revealing:
- Divine wisdom and the passion of divine love.
- How the soul can walk securely through the darkness and
the wonderful effects that are wrought in the believer as a
result of the dark night.
- Includes CD of selected excerpts from book.

 Saint
John of the Cross (1542-1591) was a poet, priest, philosopher,
and mystic who helped to bring about reform within the Roman
Catholic Church during the sixteenth century. A member of the
Carmelite Order, he worked diligently with Saint Teresa of Avila
to return their order to its proper foundation, a deep devotion
to Jesus Christ. As a result of their efforts, John was
imprisoned. Central to Saint John’s beliefs are the death of the
self-life, the mortification of the flesh, and overcoming the
devil, the world, and all temptations so that the soul can be
completely united to God and His love. |
