The Way of Ecstasy by Peter Tyler
To look at our lives afresh and to find beauty in what has always seemed so ordinary, or hope in what has seemed lifeless and dead, is to experience true ecstasy. Teresa of Avila, a practical and down-to-earth spiritual guide, takes us on an exciting journey of discovery and shows us that heaven is literally on our doorstep.Prof. Peter Tyler is Professor of Pastoral Theology and Spirituality at St Mary's University, Twickenham.
