This is another wonderful book in The Life of the Saints collection. It gives a biographical account of Teresa of Avila and shows how, despite her ill-health and much opposition, she reformed the then existing Carmelite Order to found the Order of Discalced Carmelites and managed to establish many new convents. Her fervent spirituality spread throughout her country, Spain, and throughout Christianity to the present time. An excellent resource.
