Description
In Story of a Soul, St. Therese narrates her life and presents her Little Way to holiness.

This is truly one of the greatest spiritual books ever written. Our Lord speaks through this Saint with such force and meaning that it shakes the soul of the reader. When our Lord allows a person to read this book, they will be pulled into a profound and deep love of God that they did not know before. Our dear Saint writes with such ease and comfort and it can very easily relate to anyone. A highly recommended book for anyone who wants to know what it means to become a "child of God."

Born to a middle-class French family. Her father, Louis, was a watchmaker, her mother, who died of cancer when Therese was 4, was a lace maker, and both have been declared Venerable by the Church. Cured from an illness at age eight when a statue of the Blessed Virgin smiled at her. Carmelite nun at age 15. Defined her path to God and holiness as "The Little Way," which consisted of love and trust in God. At the direction of her spiritual director, and against her wishes, she dictated her famed autobiography Story of a Soul. Many miracles attributed to her. Declared a Doctor of the Church in 1997 by Pope John Paul II.

"For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy." - Saint Therese of Lisieux
