Journey Inside St. Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle, with the most unique version of the Interior Castle ever made!

Written in 1577, by Doctor of the Church St. Teresa of Avila, the Interior Castle is a spiritual classic that has stood the test of time.  St. Teresa received a vision in which she saw the soul as a beautiful crystal castle, with God at the center, illuminating the castle from within.

St. Teresa describes seven stages of spiritual growth or "mansions". Her work is full of rich imagery, including the castle itself, water, light and a growing garden in each mansion. These images are used to help us understand the soul's growth and change as it journeys toward God.

This beautiful primer is a simple introduction for children to some of the concepts and images found in her work. This special book is filled with beautiful illustrations and a lovely rhyming poem from award-winning author and illustrator Chantal
Baros.

A perfect addition to any mini Catholic library!

A great book for children of all ages.

Book measures roughly 7 inches tall and 7 inches wide with thick board book pages in different shapes to create a 3D Castle! There are seven spreads in total, plus the front and back covers.

Customer photo review of 2025 Gold Medalist! - The Interior Castle of St. Teresa of Avila: A Mini Catholic Primer shaped book

I don't understand why everyone is raving about this book - I ordered one as a gift on June 10th and it just arrived today in the condition that you can see in the photos. It is just paper glued on the two sides of a piece of cardboard, and not glued well at all sadly - it's torn and peeling in two places on the book that I received. I definitely don't feel like this can be given as a gift, and I can't find a way to get in touch about a refund. I've not gotten responses to the customer service email in the past about coupon codes not working, so I think I have to call my credit card company and report this.

We love this book so much. As an adult I learned so much! For the feast of St. Teresa of Avila we used the book as a backdrop and the words as a narrative for a puppet show about her. Each child wanted to do it, so we did the little play for an hour! This spurred another little puppet show about St. Luke a few days later. So many blessings. We love this company and how it has grown our domestic church.

We just LOVE this children’s book of St Teresa of Avila Interior Castle. Currently our Catholic Women’s book study group is reading St Teresa of Avila’s book Interior Castle and one of the ladies found your children’s version. We fell in love with the beauty, awesome design and simplicity of a complicated book. We read a mansion from your book each week, and then it all seems so simple. We have purchased 34 SO far!!!

Customer video review of The Interior Castle of St. Teresa of Avila: A Mini Catholic Primer shaped book

My kids and I absolutely love this book! It is great to teach something complicated to understand (even for some adults) to kids in that beautiful, easy, and hands on way! It also looks very fancy outside a bookshelf, It may be used as a prayer scene or part of an altar. Mis hijos y yo amamos este libro! Es increíble poder enseñar a los niños algo que puede ser difícil de entender (incluso para adultos), de una manera tan hermosa, fácil y práctica! Además se ve hermoso para decorar la habitación de mis hijas y puede ser utilizado como parte del altar.
