Product information
  • Dark Night of the Soul
  • A spiritual masterpiece
  • Beautiful, profound words from a beloved saint

In Dark Night of the Soul, Saint John of the Cross presents for us a portrait – painted from his own experience – of one who advances successfully through the struggles of the spiritual life.

The “dark night” that St. John describes is not abandonment by God but special consideration from Him for those who desire to purify and perfect their souls. With a soul purified from earthly attachments, we can advance through the much quoted but oft misunderstood “dark night of the soul” into unity with God. By accepting the desolation and difficulty of this process, the soul cooperates with God and opens itself to receiving and revealing more perfectly God’s glory.

Be not afraid: Dark Night of the Soul, though austere and exacting in its instructions for holy living, is laced through with St. John’s charity and kindness, his love of all things beautiful and sacred – including you.

The Dark Night

"Only a few chapters into the book. I am trying to let the messages be something my mind and spirit can relish as I have been one of those mostly relying on talking to God but not listening well. Looks like it will be a treasure I can read over and over."

— WILLIAM W. (5/5)

Dark night of the soul

"I’ve wanted this book for a long time. I randomly opened it and fell on a page immediately helpful. This book will rank way up there in my library."

— JEAN S. (5/5)

Interesting Read

"I found this book to be worthy of a second read. I thought I knew what The Dark Night of the Soul was but clearly I did not. It changed what I thought I knew and gave me several moments of pause. Parts were a little over my head hence the second reading. I would not advise this book for a brand new Christian as it might confuse them and perhaps frighten them. Overall it was good and I recommend it for people established in their faith."
