Therese of Lisieux

"Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897) is one of the most popular and beloved of the saints of modern times. The patron saint of Mission and one of three women Doctors of the Church, her 'little way' has influenced millions and is perhaps the most admired of all spiritual paths." Yet few figures in the history of Christianity have been so misunderstood and misrepresented. In this study the distinguished biographer Monica Furlong strips away layers of sentimentality to reveal a surprising new Therese: a resilient figure who charted a spiritual path that was daring, original, and profound.
