Dark Night of the Soul takes readers on a deeply spiritual journey
through challenges, hardships, difficulties, and temptations to complete union
with God. St. John narrates this journey of the soul, which requires death to
self and detachment from the world. In a step-by-step process, he shows how God
can use this “dark night” to eventually bring our human spirits into great
illumination, revealing:
 Saint
John of the Cross (1542-1591)
was a poet, priest, philosopher,
and mystic who helped to bring
about reform within the Roman
Catholic Church during the
sixteenth century. A member of
the Carmelite Order, he worked
diligently with Saint Teresa of
Avila to return their order to
its proper foundation, a deep
devotion to Jesus Christ. As a
result of their efforts, John
was imprisoned. Central to Saint
John’s beliefs are the death of
the self-life, the mortification
of the flesh, and overcoming the
devil, the world, and all
temptations so that the soul can
be completely united to God and
His love.
