Written on a scroll smuggled to him by one of his guards, his songs are the ultimate expression of the spiritual seeker’s journey from estranged despair to blissful union with the divine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter escaping his captors, John fell into a state of profound ecstasy and wrote \u003ci\u003eDark Night of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e. Later, he added an important commentary to his poem to guide other searching souls along the arduous path to communion with God. Mirabai Starr, a scholar unaffiliated with the Catholic Church who has studied Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism, lends the seeker’s sensibility to John’s powerful text and brings this classic work to the twenty-first century in a brilliant and beautiful rendering.","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42378216177919,"sku":"9781573229746","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781573229746_s600x595.jpg?v=1779819989","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781573229746","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
