Ascent Of Mount Carmel

Ascent of Mount Carmel

by Saint John of the Cross

The Ascent of Mount Carmel is a classic work of Christian mysticism, written by the Spanish Carmelite friar Saint John of the Cross in the late 16th century. It is a guide to contemplative prayer and spiritual ascent, offering insights into the process of purification and transformation that leads to union with God. The book explores themes of the ‘dark night of the soul’, detachment from earthly desires, and the importance of surrendering to God's will. While it is primarily addressed to those pursuing a life of contemplative prayer, its timeless wisdom has resonated with readers from various religious backgrounds and those seeking deeper spiritual understanding.
