Review: WORKS by John of the Cross

The works of John of the Cross, a medieval Spanish monk and priest, have inspired people for centuries.  Along with his friend, the nun Teresa of Avila, he is considered one of the greatest Christian mystics of all time.

While I got this Kinds book for a very good price, that's because it's a public-domain translation. As a result, it's very old, and as a result of that, it's not a lot of fun to read. It was a book I read more because I felt I should than because I wanted to. While I wanted to know what it said, I would've been better off just reading a summary. I don't recommend this book with extreme prejudice.
