Living the Little Way of Love: with Therese of Lisieux

By John Nelson

Book Overview

Here is a fine and beautifully written book. Full of charm and insight, it opens up the spirituality of St. Th r se to anybody seeking an uncomplicated path to God. But let no one be fooled The ease of this little way does not mean an escape from real life. Rather it is a deep, though gentle, exploration of the spiritual experience lived by saints in every age.

Coming closer to St. Th r se of Lisieux is to discover afresh how to pray, how to trust in God's limitless love, how to live in joyful confidence as a child of the Creator of all things. She is a friend who introduces us to true spiritual childlikeness, the key that unlocks the gates of the kingdom of heaven.

"Wonderfully grasping St. Th r se's 'little way, ' John Nelson shows profoundly yet simply how holiness is possible for everyone. Through other classic spiritual texts, he provides for Th r se a perceptive, beautiful setting." Kieran Kavanaugh, O.C.D.
