Who was this young French Carmelite who died in 1897 of tuberculosis at age twenty-four? At a time when extreme physical penance was widespread in many religious orders, Th r se would have none of it. Her passionate love of Jesus led her to concentrate entirely on him rather than on personal austerities. Misunderstood in her own community but now universally loved, she left behind her autobiographical, bestselling book, \u003ci\u003eThe Story of a Soul\u003c\/i\u003e, which captured with rapture her passionate love of Christ and the spirituality of \"the little way\"--that all of us can live out the ideal of doing everything with love for God and become saints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on Th r se's famous notebooks, letters, poems, plays, and prayers, \u003ci\u003eSt. Th r se of Lisieux​ Story of a Life\u003c\/i\u003e reveals her true face: the Th r se who detested \"old wives\" devotions; the Th r se who longed passionately to be priest, martyr, and apostle--and could still fall asleep over her prayers in chapel. The truth of her life is that God can take a psychologically fragile adolescent and turn her into the greatest saint of the twentieth century because, in Th r se's own words, \"I have never relied on myself, only on Jesus.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11441590\"\u003eGuy Gaucher\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621642985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621642984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO018000\"\u003eReligious\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL110000\"\u003eChristianity | Saints \u0026amp; Sainthood\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBishop Guy Gaucher\u003c\/b\u003e, the foremost authority on the life of St. Thérèse, is a Carmelite priest and the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Works of St. Thérèse.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ignatius Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43835505410187,"sku":"9781621642985","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_a67e2565-ea04-4cd1-8b08-823dca7967df.jpg?v=1755668311","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/saint-therese-of-lisieux-story-of-a-life","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
