A Companion to Saint Therese of Lisieux

The product of twenty years of research and writing this extraordinary new work is the most comprehensive portrait of Th��r��se ever published and the ultimate reference to her life and spirituality. A Companion to Saint Th��r��se will appeal to all devotees of Th��r��se as well as those approaching her for the first time who will find it a fascinating introduction. There is abundant material concerning her autobiography as well as her other literary and artistic works and a treasury of information on all the people and places in her life story. Finally the author revisits the steps leading to her beatification canonization and the proclamation of her as a Doctor of the Church and provides a history of the Carmelites and the origin of the Lisieux Carmel. As a source of biographical detail and photographs it is unsurpassed in any language and will remain the most authoritative work on Th��r��se for many years to come.<p>A remarkable book! --FR. BENEDICT GROESCHEL C.F.R. Co-founder of Franciscan Friars of the Renewal<p>Obviously a labor of love. If one were making a movie about the Little Flower this would be the perfect book to provide the background material to help understand St. Th��r��se and all the people that touched her life. --FR. ROBERT J. BOYD Ph.D. F.S.S.P. Third Order Carmelite<p>An astounding achievement in the annals of Catholic hagiography. There has never been a work like this regarding the life and times of 'the Little Flower.' It will be an essential acquisition for every theological library every Catholic school and homeschooling co-op and every member of the lay faithful with a devotion to Saint Th��r��se. --CHRISTOPHER A. FERRARA President American Catholic Lawyers Association<p> In A Companion to Saint Th��r��se of Lisieux we are given the opportunity to study Th��r��se in a novel way through the optics of the people and places associated with her. I exhort all of you to come to appreciate she who identified her vocation as Love. --FR. FRANK PAVONE National Director Priests for Life<p>This is an encyclopedia of information on the life and spirituality of St. Th��r��se of Lisieux. Here you will find information and photos concerning the Saint that have not been published anywhere else. The author is to be congratulated for his diligence and persistence in assembling all this material for the many Catholics devoted to the saint of the small and simple way to God. --FR. KENNETH.
