Guidelines for Mystical Prayer

Spiritual guidance merging Carmelite wisdom and modernity.

If you've found yourself drawn to the depth and mystique of Carmelite spirituality, or simply wish to enrich your understanding of prayer, Ruth Burrows' "Guidelines for Mystical Prayer" can be a guiding star. It feels like a conversation with a wise mentor who bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges in the spiritual journey. This book can offer you a more profound perspective on prayer that is rooted in tradition yet articulated in a way that resonates today.

Description

Burns & Oates are proud to reissue Ruth Burrows' critically acclaimed work of spiritual theology, 'Guidelines for Mystical Prayer'. When first published in 1976, spiritual theology as reflection on spiritual experience was a growing trend; but at the same time there was a new interest in, and a return to, the classical Carmelite theology of prayer, with an effort to formulate that theology in contemporary thought categories. 'Guidelines for Mystical Prayer' embodies both tendencies. It offers a personal narrative, a reflection on the spiritual history of two gifted people, St Teresa and St John of the Cross; and yet it speaks clearly out of the Carmelite tradition, and in the language of today. Strong interest in Carmelite theology of prayer and the spiritual life has continued into the present; the recent success of Burrows' 'Essence of Prayer' is testament to this.
