"[An] excellent offering.... With its clear writing and strong
psychological foundation, this is a relevant resouce for readers of
all spiritual persuasions." - Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
"A gifted and insightful writer, Gerald May's book uses the same
title in an attempt to both clarify and amplify St. John of the
Cross's original work, and to place it in a modern setting. May's
book sets John in his historical context and opened me up to a
vivid picture of a young man with a deep love for God and brilliant
intellect." - Conversations Journal
