Those are my favorites. I've also read some of St. Teresa of Avila's book The Interior Castle and was having problems getting through it, but that was a long time ago. I daresay it's very good, only I wasn't ready for it yet.<br /><br />Thanks for the information about the Gloria.

I'm also looking around for a good book written by a Saint to read.
