{"product_id":"dark-night-of-the-soul-9781420969306","title":"Noche oscura del alma","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten in the 16th century by a reform-minded Carmelite monk, \"Dark Night of the Soul\" is a treatise focusing on the metaphor of a dark night to represent a lonely phase in one's personal spiritual life. Saint John was a Roman Catholic mystic and a Spanish poet, and this work reflects his mystical stages toward union with God. Divided into two books, the purification of the senses and the spirit, \"Dark Night\" describes these two phases and additionally explains the ten steps of the ladder of love, which was first expressed by Saint Thomas Aquinas. In Saint John's poem, one comes to understand his belief in a benevolent God, outside of all thought or imagination, who we can only come to know through love. A profound description of absolution, desolation, progress, and love, \"Dark Night of the Soul\" is a powerful work that captures the discouragement of doubt, as it offers help through spiritual loneliness. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3924529\"\u003eSt John of the Cross\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Digireads.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420969306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420969307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digireads.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44546732916973,"sku":"9781420969306","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ead2a9f6-843a-4c9b-92c6-930f95db73f4.jpg?v=1701606675","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/dark-night-of-the-soul-9781420969306","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
