Review: A Beautiful Writing
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a much longer book than the usual books on the saints that I've read by Mr. North, but then this writing by St. Teresa was lengthy in itself. The first one fifth of the book or so was mostly explaining how "The Way of Perfection" was interpreted as it was set forth and published here, and I felt that part was a little too technical and long.  Also, I usually enjoy referring to the footnotes as I read these books, but if there were links to the notes at the end of the book, the links didn't come through on my Kindle version so I didn't realize they were actually there until I'd finished the book.These things being said, reading St. Teresa's Way of Perfection was engrossing. The depth of her faith and insight and her ability to set out in such beautiful detail how to pray each word of The Lord's Prayer was beyond meaningful.  Her explanation of how to lead the humble life gave me a great deal to think about in each page that I turned, and gave me new, amazing ways to "contemplate" how to apply these rules to my own life.Much thanks to Mr. North for making this beautiful writing available to us!
