This is Burney’s (Amanda Bell Brown mystery series) first nonfiction title. She uses her practiced skill as a writer and narrator to tell the story of this 16th-century Spanish mystic and nun, expounding some of the trickier points of Teresa’s mysticism and offering a good deal of her own story in the process. VERDICT This refreshingly unstuffy book revitalizes Teresa and will appeal not only to African American women but to Christians across race and gender lines as well.

I think you'll enjoy it very much, Lisa. And thank you for your support.
We spent the night in Avila but everything about Teresa was in Spanish so we didn't learn much :(

Well, I already know Spanish, have been to Spain dozens of times (literally!), and have even been to Avila. When can we plan a road trip, ladies? I'd be more than willing to translate and show you around my favorite country in the world!!!!!
