Saint John Robert (157 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. St John of the Cross joined the Carmelite order in 1564. A contemporary of Tereasa of Avila, his involvement with her reform of the order led to his arrest and eventual banishment to a monastery at Toledo. He was kept in a dark cell without any human contact and fed only bread and water. After eight months he escaped and went into hiding for two years. During his captivity and exile he had frequent visions of God and composed in his mind many mystical poems upon which he later wrote commentaries. Two of the greatest are "The Dark Night of the Soul" and "The Living Flame". "The Dark Night of the Soul" features John's most famous symbol, in which the absence of God is painfully felt but which immediately precedes union with God. "The Living Flame" considers the divine illumination that follows the dark night, describing the happiness and peace experienced by the soul devoted to God.…

Hardback. Condition: New. You are the fountain of life, light, and all grace and truth"Use this book as a daily guide in your walk with God and it will enrich you in a multitude of ways."--Michael A. G. HaykinThe hearts of the first Christians beat with praise for Christ. The strength of their devotion is remarkable, considering the times of uncertainty and persecution in which they lived. Despite all of this, the early church flourished, sustained by the God to whom they prayed.Christians today have a lot to learn from the devotional life of the early church. In Fount of Heaven, a collection of carefully selected prayers from the first six centuries of the church, we can pray with our spiritual forefathers. Prayers from luminaries such as Clement of Rome, Irenaeus, and Augustine are arranged by theme to reveal the right prayer for the moment. The prayers have been slightly updated to read more easily, but they retain their joy and mystery. As we turn to the prayers of the first Christians, we can return to the foundations of our own faith.…
