By: St. John of the Cross

Part of the HarperCollins Spiritual Classics series, The Essential Writings includes selections from The Dark Night, The Spiritual Canticle, and The Living Flame of Love, the most profoundly beautiful and insightful works of St. John of the Cross, the 16th century Spanish Carmelite monk and one of Christianity’s foremost spiritual teachers. The stirring words and thoughts of a courageous Christian reformer, The Essential Writings includes a foreword by Ron Hansen, author of Atticus and Mariette in Ecstasy.

The HarperCollins Spiritual Classics series presents short, accessible introductions to the great spiritual writers of the West. Abridged from Paulist Press’s distinguished Classics of Western Spirituality series, which boasts the best modern translations available, this new series seeks to find new readers for these dynamic spiritual voices – voices that have changed lives throughout the centuries and still do today.

There are few works on spiritual life in the West that can match the insight and sheer beauty of those of the 16th-century Spanish Carmelite monk St. John of the Cross. Together with Teresa of Avila, he started a reform movement that attempted to forge a new style of religious life. The Essential Writings presents his most stirring works, including the classic “The Dark Night.”

HarperCollins Spiritual Classics Series Editor Emilie Griffin has long been interested in the classics of the devotional life. She has written a number of books on spiritual formation and transformation, including Wilderness Time: A Guide to Spiritual Retreat and Dark Is This Road: Discovering the Mystic Path. She serves on the board of Renovaré and leads workshops and retreats throughout the United States. She and her husband, William, live in Alexandria, Louisiana.
