The Book of the Foundations (Unabridged‪)‬

St. Teresa's (1515 - 1582) book of her foundations, is a historical account of the birth and development of her monastic order. Written by the saint herself, she gives her first-hand account of the trials and successes she had in spreading Catholic monasticism throughout Spain. The book is in a sense a sequel to her autobiographical, The Life which tells of her internal struggles to grow spiritually.

A classic of Catholic literature, this book gives a rare first-hand glimpse of the labors of one of Spain's most revered saints.
