THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SAINT THÉRÈSE OF LISIEUX The Story of a Soul

In these three letters, written towards the end of her short life, Saint Thérèse writes of her childhood faith, what drew her to the Carmelite order, and her general tenets of faith. One of the most beloved saints of the Roman Catholic Church, Saint Thérèse has many followers, who find her simple teachings to be a pure expression of faith. Sherry Kennedy Brownrigg's narration is earnest and reverential. She reads with quiet assurance the words of this believer, who writes with sentimental and simple conviction. Translator John Beevers provides a long introduction to the book with biographical details and his views on the message and appeal of Saint Thérèse.
