Title: What do You want of me?
Review: Dwight Judy takes a systematic, sensible approach to saint who took a sensible approach to the extraordinary topic of the interior life. His book gives an overview of Teresa's life and her relevance to our time, then shows the author's insight into the psychology of spiritual development. The types of Teresian prayer are covered, with exercises for reflection and prayer. Judy's exposition of discernment in the interior life is exceptionally well done. The book ends by pointing to the purpose of a lively interior life - to know and assent to God's will for our earthly, exterior life. This book is accessible for one who is new to Teresa, while also adding new insight and order to one more familiar with her works. Her writings are extensively and appropriately quoted.
