Ova jedinstvena knjiga nudi izbor duhovnih misli sabranih iz djela sv. Ivana od Križa, u kojima se zrcali neprolazna svježina njegova duhovnog nauka, bogatstvo asketskoga i mističnog iskustva te nadasve živa, goruća ljubav prema Bogu. Istodobno duboke i pristupačne, Misli velikog kršćanskog mistika mogu postati istinski vodič onima koji slijedeći duboku nutarnju težnju žele osvojiti duhovne vrhunce i ostvariti ljubavno otajstvo sjedinjenja s Bogom.
