Synopsis

The wisdom of St. Thérèse of Lisieux—for all who want to pray

How did this saint’s precious—even precocious—childhood devotion to God develop into such wisdom? Thérèse Martin entered a Carmelite convent at age 15 and died of tuberculosis at age 24. In that short time, her “little flower” of a life came into vibrant, spiritual bloom.

Millions of people know and adore St. Thérèse—the world’s most popular saint during the first half of the 20th century—from her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, an international bestseller.

This warm, wise little book will help you to discover firsthand how to receive God’s presence and love. You will:
· Walk with Thérèse through days of humility, suffering, beauty, and spiritual sensitivity.
· Discover how, through prayer and growing faith, you too can follow your own Little Way to authentic Christian experience.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

" A heart given to God loses none of its natural tenderness; on the contrary, the more pure and divine it becomes, the more such tenderness increases."
