The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus is the celebrated spiritual autobiography of the sixteenth-century Carmelite mystic and reformer St. Teresa of Avila. Written at the command of her confessors, the book recounts her early life, her conversion, and the extraordinary mystical experiences that marked her path to God.

Teresa describes her stages of prayer, her visions and raptures, and her work reforming the Carmelite order, all in a voice of remarkable warmth and candor. A classic of Christian mysticism, it has inspired readers for centuries. This free EPUB edition is ready to read on any e-reader, tablet, or phone.
