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 herself 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 with St. John's charity and kindness, his love of all things beautiful and sacred—including you.

I'm completely satisfied with the cover. It just manages to fit my New Testament and Psalms book
This is a wonderfully enlightening read for anyone seriously interested in advancing in their spiritual development authored by one who knows what's at stake.

The Dark Night of the Soul
For me, this is a new translation of St John of the Cross;s spiritual classic. The work is well done indeed. The "Dark Night" we must now deal with in a world at war can be enlightened if we follow St John;s psychology and apply his lessons to ourselves and our fears. Of course, much more fruit follows when one has a spiritual father or mother to help in guidance, but such are hard to find. This book is a good first step.
