"Two problems occur in the spiritual life: we don’t understand it, and we don’t know where we are headed! The Devil’s in the Castle by Dan Burke solves both problems. Burke presents an accessible, well-organized manual packed with counsel and practical advice. For all readers, his explanations of behaviors at each stage of spiritual growth are easily recognized in one’s own life. His approach is refreshing, excerpting keen passages of Teresa’s writing and rounding off the explanation with a perspective formed by the spiritual masters of the church. But it does not end with Teresa’s work. Burke provides numerous resources to help the reader maintain their ‘balance’ on this spiritual path. This book is a guide to be accessed over and over again as we grow in love with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” ---Debra Black, author of Kick Butt!
