Product information
  • Fire Within
  • A beautiful, deeply moving guide to true prayer
  • Enables a deeper love for the interior life
  • By renowned author Father Thomas Dubay

This book is the fruit of Fr. Dubay's many years of study and experience in spiritual direction and in it he synthesizes the teachings on prayer of the two great doctors of the Church on prayer--St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila--and the teaching of Sacred Scripture.

But the teaching that Fr. Dubay synthesized is not collected from Teresa and John for contemplatives alone. It is meant for every Christian and is based on the Gospel imperative of personal prayer and the call to holiness. All the major elements of these great teachers are ordered, commented on and put in the context of their scriptural foundations. Here is an outstanding book on prayer and the spiritual life written by one of the best spiritual directors and retreat masters of our time, and based on the writings of the Church's two greatest mystical doctors.

A classic

"This should be in every Catholic home that is serious about having a personal, intimate relationship with God!"

— Ashley O. (5/5)

Very weird writing

"I’ve really enjoying the book and especially John of the Cross who I new nothing about."

— AugustaCarr S. (5/5)

Lengthy Novel

"This book reads like a novel. Content is good but requires more attention to continue reading. I normally like to read prayer type books that are more interesting and hold my attention. . Will continue to read to gain more insight."

— Rita K. (3/5)

Fire Within

"A great book. I really enjoyed way book is written/style. A lot about prayer/theresa of Avila/saint John of the cross/gospel. Father dubay is very knowledgeable about these 2 saints/gospel. Please read this book."

— Matthew W. (5/5)

Every Catholic needs to read this book!

"I'll say it again,,, Every Catholic needs to read this book!"

— Jesse B. (5/5)

A primer on prayer

"This book should be part of every young adult's library. I'm hardly that -- actually an aged adult -- but I only wish I had discovered this work when I was 18 so that the Lord and I would have been walking in tandem all through my life. It's huge in depth and size and should be beside your Bible on your nightstand always!"

— Janet D. (5/5)

Fantastic book

"I have read both Saints Teresa and Saint John but wish I had read this book first. It made their teachings so much more clear and is a wonderful companion to their writing. It is also a wonderful book for anyone interested in contemplative prayer."

— Jackolyn G. (5/5)
