The Living Flame of Love: by St. John of the Cross with His Letters, Poems, and Minor Writings

The fourth centenary of the death of St. John of the Cross inspired this revised edition of the English translation of his writings. The result is an edition that preserves the true meaning of the great mystic's writings, presents them as clearly as possible, and at the same time gives the reader the doctrinal and historical information that will lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the teachings of the Mystical Doctor. Included in The Collected Works are St. John's poetry, The Ascent of Mount Carmel, The Dark Night, The Spiritual Canticle, and The Living Flame of Love, as well as his letters and other counsels. Unlike most modern editions, this Angelnook Publishing edition has been completely re-processed as opposed to utilizing type-recognition software in order to provide the most complete and comprehensive version of the author's poems, interpretations, and various other writings.
