Description
Written by a foremost expert on the life of the beloved Saint Therese of Lisieux, this work is widely considered the most definitive and popular presentation of her life. Based on Therese’s notebooks, letters, poems, plays, and prayers, STORY OF A LIFE reveals her true self: the Therese who detested “old wives” devotions; the Therese who longed passionately to be priest, martyr, and apostle, yet fell asleep during her prayers. The truth of her life is that God can take a psychologically fragile adolescent and turn her into one of the greatest saints of the twentieth century, because, in Therese’s own words, “I have never relied on myself, only on Jesus.” Paper.
