15 Days of Prayer with Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
by Constant Tonnelier
GoodBookStall Review:
St. Thérèse of Lisieux lived for only twenty-four years, nine of these passed in a Carmelite monastery. Yet, in spite of this brief life passed in obscurity, her autobiography The Story of a Soul is a bestseller and her influence has spread worldwide. Since her canonisation in 1925 she has become one of the most admired and loved of saints. This book brings together Thérèse’s own thoughts and reflections on life with a continuous explanatory commentary by the author. Thérèse’s Little Way is firmly rooted in confidence and love. ‘To love until we die of love’ is her prescription for a happy life. Anyone setting out on a spiritual journey need not travel alone. This book is a perfect companion and guide.
