The Story of the Soul

Beloved as the Little Flower of Jesus Marie-Françoise-Thérèse Martin-or SAINT THÉRÈSE OF LISIEUX (1873-1897)-is remembered today for this her spiritual autobiography. Before her too-young death from tuberculosis at the age of 24 she put down in words her simple yet profound approach to the worship of God called her little way a philosophy of everyday goodness and appreciation of life and nature that anyone may follow. Remarkably her deep piety grew from her own life-long suffering from the loss of her mother at age four to her own ill health and through them her dedication to obedience of and surrender to Gods will. A favorite of spiritual seekers this is a lovely work of devotion and prayfulness.
