This was an interesting book about St. Therese of Lisieux. It really proves that any saint, no matter how simple their way of life and how they lived, were spectacular people. I would not recommend this book if you wanted to particularly read about this saint...I would find a different one or I'm thinking of checking out Story of a Soul, by St. Therese. The author of this book could get a bit dry, and repeat things too many times.

Great bio of a great saint. I especially like the way he explains her spirituality and helps us to see that it is something we can all do. Not just aspire to, but actually do. The edition I have was published in 1955 by image books. The original copy write was 1949.

Meditative and calming. But...the canonization and beatification of Saints is a puzzling process.

The narrative sections and the presentation of Therese's teaching are good. The contextualization and application of that teaching are alternately weak and perfunctory.

How joy can be found in suffering - (hmm I have a long way to go)

This book, written in 1949, was very fresh and full of energy, especially when talking about the aftermath of world war II and world war I and the atomic bomb and how the world needs to adopt Theres's little way.
It also had many aspects of Saint Therese's life that I had not been aware of before, especially about the relationship between her and her Superior in the Carmelite convent. I found the book to be a tonic for me and a reminder to be more humble and to try to do all of my actions with as much love as possible.
