- Summary:
- Viewed by some as one of the greatest Spanish poets, by others as a forbidding advocate of renunciation, John of the Cross was declared Doctor of the Church for his unique contribution to Catholic spiritual practice. In this book, the author, a Carmelite of Mary Immaculate, lays bare the heart of John's message: God can only encounter us in his fullness if we are empty of everything that is not God.
