The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux 10 reviews
Tan Books & Publishers, 1997
A must have on any shelf!
While much has been made regarding the translation of this book, I cannot stress enough what a classic this book is. Certainly for all Catholics this book is a must have. However, the simple and practical wisdom of this book reaches well beyond Catholic walls. If you have a section in your collection of books where you keep classics that you always go back too, pick up this book and it will find ...

The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux: The Story of a Soul 27 reviews
Image, 1987
The Little Flower
Therese of Lisieux lived a very sheltered life. As we begin the book she actually seems to be spoiled by her family. Her parents were financially secure and devoutly religious. Therese knew she wanted to be a nun from the age of three. She had bouts of poor health and she suffered the loss of her mother early in her life. And then the sisters she relied on left one by one to join the convent. But ...

I Believe in Love: A Personal Retreat Based on the Teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux9 reviews
Jean C. J. d'Elbée
Sophia Institute Press, 2001
A true alternative to the empty falsehoods of secular psychology
One of the previous Amazon reviewers of this book wrote the following (the review in question is to be found in the series of reviews for the other edition of the book, by St. Bede's Publications from 1983):
"And I may add that for the anxious or depressed- this book is a sure remedy."
That is absolutely correct, for the following reason: Anxiety and depression are actually maladies of ...

The Love That Keeps Us Sane: Living the Little Way of St. Therese of Lisieux (Illuminationbooks.)7 reviews
Marc Foley
Illuminationbooks, 2000
Sanctity and Sanity
I left this book lying on the coffee tableone day and was surprised when my normally skeptical 23 year old daughter quoted it back to me during a conversation! She, as I, was attracted to the book by its title. And the book delivers what it promises--a way to live with life's ordinary and extraordinary pains, and an introduction to the comfort and joy of a life connected to God even in its ...

St. Therese of Lisieux: Her Last Conversations3 reviews
St. Therese of Lisieux
ICS Publications, 1977
Utterly Fascinating
This is truly one of the most fascinating books in the world. The Martin sisters wrote down literally every word Therese said in her last six months. "O to die her death!"--"Then live her life."

Elizabeth Ficocelli
Crossroad General Interest, 2004
The Handbook of Heavenly Guidance
This is such a wonderful account of people's experience with St. Therese and the myriad of ways that she uses to show people which direction to go when faced with a difficult decision or whether their petition for a favor has been granted.
I believe in all cases through St. Therese's intercession that everyone's sincere prayers are answered but not always in the way they would expect. ...

The Story of a Family: The Home of St. Therese of Lisieux(The Little Flower) 2 reviews
Stephane-Joseph Piat
Tan Books & Publishers, 1994
Provides insite to the family of the saint
The book is written in the older style (reprint originally printed 1945), and has a somewhat dated floral religious tone of its time. This could be a detractor to some; however, it is the liberally sprinkled with primary source documents letters written by the family members and history of the period. For the faithful who wants a better understanding of the trails and what life was like for St. ...

The St. Therese of Lisieux Prayer Book
Vinita Hampton Wright
Paraclete Press (MA), 2008
The wisdom of St. Thérèse of Lisieux--for all who want to pray How did this saint's precious--even precocious--childhood devotion to God develop into such wisdom? Thérèse Martin entered a Carmelite convent at age 15 and died of tuberculosis at age 24. In that short time, her "little flower" of a life came into vibrant, spiritual bloom. Millions of people know and adore St. Thérèse--the world's most popular saint during the first ...

The Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux, Vol. I: 1877-18901 review
John Clarke, St. Therese of Lisieux
Ics Pubns, 1982
a gold mine of detail about Therese's life as she lived it
One of the most underappreciated books of the century. A translation of the critical edition of Therese's letters and those written to her from her birth till age seventeen. In "Story of a Soul" Therese writes "I find myself at a period in my life when I can cast a glance backward," but in the letters we accompany her day by day, and read what she wrote at 14 on the day of her visit with ...

plenary indulgence just for reading this
This is a lovely book by 'the greatest saint of modern times.' read any chapter and you will see the heart of Catholicism. You will learn catholic spirituality and the reason why Therese was a saint. Some men have said they are improved every time they read this book. It is true. Besides the Eucharist itself, St. Therese is the saint that drew me into the Church. Her Little Way gives me hope ...

The Passion of Therese of Lisieux: The Story of the Final Months in the Life of This Modern Saint4 reviews
Guy Gaucher
The Crossroad Publishing Company, 1990
astonishing
Most books gloss over the last months of St. Therese, possibly because up until the last 40 years TB was so common that nobody really needed to hear an in depth discussion of it. After reading this book you will be deeply moved. St. Therese went through a long dark night of the soul and body and although physically crushed she spiritually soared above it. I would definitely say that this book ...

Celine: Sister Genevieve of the Holy Face : Sister and Witness of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus2 reviews
Stephane-Joseph Piat
Ignatius Press, 1997
I liked it!
This book was a truthful account of the life of Celine, sister and witness to Saint Therese. Celine worked very hard to carry on the way of "spiritual childhood" as her sister suggested, and the book tells of some of her trials towards seeing Therese canonized. Celine is a wonderful person herself, delightfully human, and a woman I would have wanted to meet. If you've enjoyed the stories ...

Helen Walker Homan
Ignatius Press, 1995
Great book, could not put it down!
What I loved about this book was I learned about Saint Therese and her "little way" inside a sweet easy read novel rather than an biography on her. Now I can't wait to read the deeper "reads" but this book I read in 2 days and fell in love with her and her family. Her family taught me how my family could model hers. I truly fell in love with this book and have bought it for friends who have loved ...

Wonderful
What a wonderful book about a wonderful saint! This book, while not a difficult read, is certainly rich in emotion, beauty, and spirituality. If you have read St.Therese's "Story of a Soul", this is an excellent "second book" to read. It tells of the story of a relationship between a seminarian/priest and St.Therese in her last days. I recommend it for anyone's spiritual edification, especially ...
