Inspiration to Holiness

Whether or not you've ever read about the life of St. Therese of Lisieux, this comprehensive telling of her story and message will inspire you to emulate her holiness. Covering all the major events of her life before Carmel, as well as everything from the time she entered the convent at age fifteen until her death nine years later, this book also offers a glimpse at all of the people who affected Therese's life. In her strenuous efforts to offer all of her life to God, Therese took all of the trials and disappointments she received at the hands of others, as well as her own weaknesses, and transformed them into gifts of love to Jesus. Perhaps the greatest strength of this book is that it contains a generous sampling of Therese's writings, both poetry and prose, which will provide the reader with many rich opportunities for meditation.
