_LIVES OF SAINTS

THE LOVES OF TERESA OF AVILA
by Jose Luis Olaizola

With novelistic flair, Olaizola’s unconventional biography illuminates the life of a Doctor of the Church and one of history’s most extraordinary and exceptional women. He approaches her from a literary perspective, with the clear intention of fathoming her various loves, until she comes face to face with the Love of her life, Jesus Christ.

The author’s achievement is to have captured the experience of living through that momentous century in Spain. His Teresa is as human as any of the greatest saints, his book as illuminating as any we have ever read.
