Question. Excerpts or complete ??

the use of the word "selections" is confusing to me. are the works complete and 'selections' referring to selections from all his works? or are they excerpts from the full texts? i don't want to buy excerpts. information would be most appreciated.

The call within

This is the second time I am reading this book and it is as if I have never read it. John's treatise on the work of God within is a masterpiece. If you are called to the contemplative life, this is a must GET. Kieran's editing is outstanding. I have read several edited books on John of the Cross and they seemed jumbled. This is by far the best. Very well structured. I cannot talk about the content, you have to experience it first then read with joy about your exprience. John does not give a how-to 'cos there isn't one to Union life, but he gives guides and explains clearly what is going on inside you.
