on the way to understanding the role of God in their lives. In this
collection, may their words again help all who long for a life of
meaning, touched and transfigured by God.Holy Thirst presents all the essential themes of Carmelite spirituality, excerpted from classics such as The Way of Perfection of St. Teresa of Avila, The Ascent of Mount Carmel by St. John of the Cross, The Story of a Soul of St. Therese of Lisieux, and The Practice of the Presence of God by
Brother Lawrence. Also included are shorter portions by lesser known,
more recent Carmelites: St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, St. Teresa

(Jessica Powers).
