Synopsis

The Story of a Soul conveys St. Therese of Lisieux's "Little Way" of spiritual childhood - her "elevator" to Heaven, as she called it. This method was approved by Pope Pius XI as a way for all to grow in holiness through unfailing confidence and childlike delight in God's merciful love.
Again and again in this book, St. Therese shows us how her "Little Way" of love and trust comes straight from Sacred Scripture.
This book belongs in every Catholic home, for Pope St. Pius X called St. Therese of Lisieux the "greatest Saint of modern times".

My spiritual director suggested that I spend some time with my patroness, and he was not wrong. (He seldom is.) I forget how alike St. Therese and I am until I reread this book and think "oh yeah, we're both stubborn, members of large families, suffer from some of the same spiritual ailments, love pr......more

Goodreads review by Tom LA on October 05, 2023

There is a purity, in St. Therese’s writings, that I hope will - at least minimally - pass on to me, or at least provoke some good movements in my soul. She had a beautiful heart, she was so pure and she had such a genuine love for Jesus. And the way she interspersed scriptural quotes throughout her......more
