For Love of the World - The Old and New Self of John of the Cross

John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Spanish mystic and Doctor of the Church, was a spiritual pilgrim who traveled the road with God in and through his everyday experiences. This book is a study of John's attitude towards the world in which a loving journey of transformation from the old self to the new self takes place. John knows that it is in this world that the journey of transformation takes place, in whatever way God works that transformation.
