Want to nourish your prayer life? Fr. Thomas Dubay’s majesterial book is meat, not milk.
Fr. Dubay draws from two authors who were also contemporaries and friends - St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. Fire Within explores how these two saints use very different language to approach the same themes:
Contemplation
Experiencing God
Detachment
The Dark Night of the Soul
The best summary I can give is the one that Fr. Dubay gives himself, in an opening chapter:
A book on advanced prayer is a book on advanced joy. It is a love story, a book about being loved, and loving, totally. It is a book on holiness, the heights of holiness to which the Gospel invites everyone.
Ready for some advanced joy? It is hard work, but completely worth it!
