La Madre

SUMMARY:

This book is designed to introduce the reader to Teresa's life and teaching, setting her within the multifaceted historical and religious perspectives of sixteenth century Spain. In Teresa we meet a woman who retains a sparkle and originality that is timeless. She was a reformer of warmth and humor, of prayer and practical ability; a woman who was mother, sister, friend, teacher to many and who, by her life and writings, continues to inspire Christians of our own day.
