St. John of The Cross 
DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL [EPUB ebook] 

St. John of the Cross describes of the soul’s journey through trouble — the ‘dark night’ — to the ‘divine union of the love of God.’ A poet at heart, St. John describes the journey and the union with beautifully rich and deeply symbolic language.

He offers encouragement and comfort directly to readers as they too struggle with the excruciating dark night. Offering hope to the downtrodden and discouraged, the Dark Night of the Soul is not an easy read, but its reward makes it worthwhile.

A profound work of Christian mysticism, this book is highly recommended for those seeking union with God.

It now also comes with a helpful introduction and extensive notes.

Considered a sequel and continuation of Ascent of Mount Carmel, the Dark Night of the Soul is a spiritually moving and mystical book.

Thomas Merton described St. John of the Cross as, ’the greatest of all mystical theologians, ‘ echoing the considered judgment of most authorities on the spiritual life.
