General Description:

Compiled by Judy Bauer

Celebrate the writings of this nineteenth-century Carmelite nun who is remembered most for her letters, her poetry, and her "simple way" to holiness as described in her autobiography. The profound impact Thérèse had upon spirituality in the twentieth century was recognized by her swift canonization only 28 years after her death and again in 1997 by Pope John Paul II, who named her a Doctor of the Church. This book, with its concise overview of St. Thérèse's writings, will be appreciated by all devotees of the Little Flower.
