About the book >.>.> John of the Cross’s reputation so precedes him that it is hard not to be intimidated into turning back before ever making his spiritual acquaintance. He is after all by common consent the western spiritual mas- ter par excellence. He leads the seeking soul more deeply more insistently more uncompromisingly and more sure-footedly into the mysteries of personal union with God than any other. Even for those who have never read a word he has written his name con- jures up mysterious dark nights of the soul that can seem to the easily dissuaded beginner more terrifying than inviting. His writings as a result are thought by many to be only for those who are far along the spiritual path and hardly suitable or even accessible to those taking their first well-meaning but stumbling spiritual steps.
