Originally written for her sisters in the order that she had belonged to, St. Teresa lays out a book of advice to attain true communion with God. Although some of the chapters feel like rules rather than guidance, the steps within this book help to draw us closer to god via prayer, meditation and silence. Many times in our loud world we try to show our closeness with God via loud exclamations of what our Lord is doing but St. Teresa shows a different and heartfelt way of meditating on God's word in a silent nature allowing us to see that relationship with God is a private thing that no one has any say over except God himself and His word.
