St Thérèse of Lisieux: Story of a Soul, Gebunden

Klappentext

It may seem that holiness is too far away for ordinary people. But one saint shows us that our littleness is actually the way to holiness. Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux details the innermost thoughts of a young, humble Carmelite nun who became a Doctor of the Church through her teachings called "the little way." This saint has taught generations of Catholics that embracing our littleness with unbounded confidence in God's love can be a path to sainthood. Story of a Soul, the third book in Ascension's Catholic Classics series, uses the only full English translation of this key work of Catholic tradition. Exploring topics such as confidence in God's mercy, trust, and God's love for his children, this text draws readers ever closer to God through St. Thérèse's thoughts and story on her own path to sainthood. This special version of Story of the Soul includes: -Expert commentary from Fr. Jacob Bertrand Janczyk, O. P. and Anne-Elisabeth Giuliani, a consecrated woman, at the beginning of each chapter to make the text more approachable -25 photos of St. Thérèse and her life -Appendices of St. Thérèse's explanation of her coat of arms, the letter she carried on her heart, and the act of oblation of merciful love. -An insert of exclusive sacred art depicting St. Thérèse from Ascension's Sacred Art Collection of Holy Men and Women by Tianna Williams -A foreword by Cardinal Anders Arborelius, O. C.D. -A leatherlike cover, foil stamping, and a place-holding ribbon This beautiful book draws Catholics into a deeper relationship with God in their pursuit of holiness through the honesty, authenticity, and wisdom of one of the Church's greatest saints.
