Title: Ascent of Mount Carmel (Triumph Classics) by Saint John of the Cross, E. Allison Peers ISBN: 0-89243-491-0 Publisher: Triumph Books Pub. Date: January, 1993 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (3 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Not a complete version
Comment: On the positive side, the Carrigan translation is based on the E. Allison Peer's which is currently out of print. The negative is that some of the chapters are omitted by the translator (he says since they are repetative or about John's religious community, that are insignificant). I would have to discagree. Without the full transalation, some pertanent insights can be lost.
I have the downloaded the Peer's translation in both PDF and RTF format and am still looking (or hoping for a reprint) of a hardcopy from Ligouri
Rating: 5
Summary: Unyielding spiritual precision
Comment: I read The Ascent of Mount Carmel over a decade after my own conversion to Christianity. What astonished me the most was that St. John of the Cross described with absolute precision exactly how God had intereacted with me. He describes many ways in which God chooses to reveal himself to man, most of which I did not understand. But it would be my guess that if anyone has encountered God, that encounter is described somewhere in this book.
Rating: 4
Summary: A detailed 'how to' guide on reaching spiritual nirvana.
Comment: I'd give it 5 stars except that it's a hard read in spots. Otherwise a brilliant mystical text on spiritual union with God. Whatever your spiritual beliefs this book will give you insights into improving your spiritual being.
